Luna's Lambent Sweep

Like a mourning dove, my lament is spilled I cry in grief as shadowed night grows cold Spirit crushed from love's promise, unfulfilled Burdensome sorrows in my heart unfold Succumbed by tears, I piteously weep In sullen thoughts and restless sleep, I dwell 'cross the skies, Luna flies in lambent sweep With consoling hope, or my tolling knell? On winds of change, I'd soar to zenith height With wings fanned in poetic volition Never again fearing a mawkish night No room for gloom, nor fear of perdition My eyes long for benevolence anew Where the world is adorned in hues of blue 11~17~2020 Winds of Change Sponsor: John Hamilton
