Short Its Darkest Just Before The Dawn Poems

Quiet darkest hour, just before dawn
Alive with tree frogs singing, just for fun

Sashaying ways of sexy sways
Silent steps of saddest days

Screeching crow perched in a tree
Cries of eagles flying free

Dark days come, but soon are gone..
in the..
Quiet darkest hour, just before dawn

Winter can oft seem cruel,
Her proud head held high to rule.
Will her reign end on this side of forever?

But the trees left forsaken and dead,
Will lift up their whispering heads.
Nothing can last forever.

A tendril of hope carries on,
After darkest night comes the dawn.
The cycle of time continues forever.

Never say all hope is lost,
In Spring there is bound to be frost.
Let love remain in your heart forever....

Singe the hairs so near the waist,
ignite a fire with your embrace.

For when our wax and wick are gone,
fires we start may yet live on,
light darkest hours before the dawn,
beyond the whimper, beyond the yawn....

Stars sparkle in the black velvet sky
Lit with orange and red 
Meteor appears as a shooting star
A bright streak of light

The moon, a lovely crescent 
A midnight gust blows overhead
The darkest ink lays before dawn
Arrives the bewitching hour 
When the veil between life and death
Is at its weakest 
Phantom limbs intertwine 
And witches cast their spell
I wake up unsettled with a cold sweat
When supernatural activity is at its greatest
