The Darkness

Now,
   comes the darkness
the chilling wind howling thru the trees
   and in the sky deep darkened blue purple clouds
sweeping in like locusts set free to feed.
  devouring early spring bud and blossoms
  withering in their wake.
Now comes the day’s end
   languishing in frail faded sunlight
with barely a ray to seep out
  the sudden chill of February’s end.
