Glow
Death waits
darker than a crow's eye
watching sighs become
the silent drum of time
Beyond the grasp
of nature's green moment
the world mourns gray
No embers can ignite
the broken ash
of scattered promises
Born on cruelest wind
all dusty hope abandoned
to rue the fear of failing heart
Then oh so faint
some distant miracle
comes marching in a dream
darker than a crow's eye
watching sighs become
the silent drum of time
Beyond the grasp
of nature's green moment
the world mourns gray
No embers can ignite
the broken ash
of scattered promises
Born on cruelest wind
all dusty hope abandoned
to rue the fear of failing heart
Then oh so faint
some distant miracle
comes marching in a dream

Very much like some of Sylvia Plath's work, especially in the deeply psychological narrative and strange, compelling similes and imagery.

What a wonderful reaction Jack - I couldn't hope for better comparison. Alas, I am not in that league. Thank you so much.
