Dimming Sunlight

A dimming sunlight disappearing Day now has become the midnight sun Walking in the shadows of daylight With trees bountifully standing Sounds becoming whispers of the night Thought’s wondering with fear With snow cuddling the trees As the deer walk among the moonlight Leaving only footprints for the hunters they fear Wishing for the sun to reappear To lay asleep hidden among the trees Safe without fear

This poem captures all my senses, especially like the play of light and dark, and warm and cool. Also the fear and peace of the deer. Reminds me much of my fave most famous poet Wendell Berry’s Wid Things poem(check out on YouTube!) Also really like your handling of the line breaks and carry overs. Thanks for commenting on my poem.
