Red At Night

Great black clouds
Clot the blood-red sky, 
Pink stained shadows
Where daylights go to die.
Candlelit processions 
In valley ways awake,
Trickle waxen grief
Onto valley lake,
Threading bright the promise
Though choir has ceased refrain, 
Holding back the night
That dawn should come again.

Dear Gersh, I can't thank you enough for the comments you made today on several of my poems. You are such a great reader! Liz

Simply marvelous imagery... and the last four lines resonate so with me. Superb poesy, Elizabeth. Sunlight and Joy, Gershon
