Night Fall

Dust decays the minds remains, sullies clarity while slow it stains- Slow it stalls each calm refrain scowls so deep my new disdain. Cloudless day, yet chill surrounds, then quiet falls upon the grounds- Eases silence until all around I’m lost among the words I found. Gathering close the gloom foretells echoes of the church-yard bells- Quiet then both the vale and dell so quickly, so sudden, so it fell. Stark the darkness heavily weighs dances resolutely thus it stays- Along grey gravel does it play then dead to earth it kills the day. Stalks away and leaves unkind unravels deeds, stops the mind- Once taut now the heart so finds purpose loosened it slow unwinds. Fade cold sun beyond the trees! Rush to earth upon your knees- So small, so small you are to me still stoic though, your majesty. (click on the pic to buy my Poetry Book!

Lovely! “ Cloudless day, yet chill surrounds,” and “ So small, so small you are to me. still stoic though, your majesty.”
