Diamond Night

Black night like raven peaks its strides On ashen wings hung low on breeze, While moon turns her crepe face and hides Dragging through seams of vagrant trees. Just when the thick of fog devours A hundred moths chain-links the sky; To pirouette in blazes, shine the hours Changing eve with diamond eyes. Meshed web of stars peeps through frail light As if to send a dazzling sign, That glossed winds can unwrap night"s plight When jeweled bugs and stones align Nature Theme Contest of Kim Morrison by nette onclaud
