The unfolding of a bleak mid-night moon, Formidable, throbbing, ghostly gray cloud, Swirling in rage, with wordless eerie croon; Affecting considerable angst shroud. Ravens frenzy, divergence flutter coup Through impenetrable tangle of trees. Sinful, depressed, slate shadows wily drew, Leaden silk veil amid deceptive ease. Pinion she lies there, a dismal, frail frame. Fragments of her life evanesce apace; Consume by repugnant stanch, it laid claim. Crumbling world turn upside down, fearful place. Neath celestial heaven alone she lies, Looking up, overcome by life, with leaden eyes. 4/4/2020

Fortunately, there is always the cold light of dawn and the eagerness to bathe in its warmth! Aloha! Rico
