Meru Groen Poet Free verse

The Long Night

Sitting by the fire, back to the darkness.  
Soft flames highlight his face, staring into the night.
The high cheeks, the deep eyes, with lips grey, and stone-like.
Later, the glowing coals show his face, calm, resolved.
Sculptured and statuesque, of one who's seen the light!
