The clouds gathered dark
15 August 2015
Stars shone eerily
Dwarfs competing with giant
Moonlight’s faded thoughts
There was no time I recalled
Where the weaker ever won
Withered jasmine died
Summer’s heat was but prelude
For hay set on fire
Shoulders bracing for onslaught
Ice in my heart melted not
Daytime’s dust lingered
New stars between Sky and Earth
Spread out shimmering
Like fragmented souls they flew
Wasted speckles of Earth’s skin
Distant dogs barked shrill
Crying to the moon they wailed
Loss of their masters
Gone remnants of your essence
What died once will die anew
The sea’s hue deepened
The horizons threatened stark
The clouds gathered dark
Mind’s eye looked over the waves
Hoping for glint in black hues
Well done. You certainly have a way with words Be well.
