Lost In Darkness

Shaken birds shrill cry across darkened sky, Awaken to the biting cold wind howls. Taken by flash of lighting pulsing heart, Forsaken stretch of night as thunder scowls. Lost in the darkness, of pounding chill rain, Tossed round from the flicker of leaves and trees. Accost the meager unvarying light. Frost thins to a slight glimmer quick to seize. 6/21/2021

Congratulations on this one making it to number 1 on charts. A lot of people around world can relate I think. l like last two lines first stanza. Too many flash floods and now in NZ too. Dredging rivers needs to happen more often. Take care David in NZ

Your poem is exquisite, Eve, because it is such a chilling picture of the storm, I could feel it.

You created a gloomy picture of the storm Eve, hopefully we won't see anything like it for a few months at least. Enjoy your week. Tom
