The Daily Post prompt is: darkness
When darkness falls at sunny noon,
And night birds croon
Where blackbird’s song
Is heard day long,
A warning’s carried in the breeze,
Among the trees.
‘Weep,’ say the pines:
I fear the signs.
My heart knew something was amiss,
For your last kiss
Was cool and brief,
Unlike my grief.
No turtledoves among the boughs,
Where dark wind soughs,
With their refrain,
To soothe this pain.
You’ll not return, the world’s awry,
The hoarse crow’s cry
Will fill my ears
Down all the years.
Wonderful image, in words and picture!
Thank you, Peter 🙂
Wow!
