When the Sun Goes Out

When The Sun Goes Out

By the blue lake snow drifts, vacates
Thoughts follow hours hollow, mild 
Traced by a line of reason along a narrow road
Peace covers white mounds proper flow
Slips over them in a deep but common coma
Sleep comes, leaving swirls of powder
Over crisp particles of ice
Placed there with complacent cold
Frozen down to the soul of dawn
Sun moved on long ago
