RAVENOUS ELDRITCH WRATH

The darkening skies in choir of wrath;
The wind brisk banging blows;
The withering of trees;
The falling twirling leaves;
The branches sudden irate tweak and split.

Giving way to the rushing threat of death
Will another candle die...

To disturb the silence, making known...

I hope, as my past marred my blessed future.
Mirage!
Reality is blurred,...

A tenderly mauve drop on ground
It was a large flower from a tree
unknown to me
And consequently
Stepped in tiny flowers of joy in my eyes
Obviously I looked up and there stood...
