Francis J Grasso Poet Quatrain

Guilt

Moonlight and mystery have found you.
The wind blows cold in the night.
Mist covers morning's sound reason.
Darkness destroys all that is light.

Stillness surrounds this stark moment,
as sadness seeps through to your eyes.
Tears gather slowly, serenely
from fears of unfounded surmise.

Naked, too troubled, bewildered
as memories continue in lies.      
Then deep in the darkness, it finds you.
Remorseful, resplendent reprise.
