POETRY & PROSE

LIGHT

DARK

As I look at light

with the night

behind me,

mellow sky,

gradual sea,

the moon cowers

slowly,

stealthily.

Sun flakes fall,

fresh & crispy,

butterflies flutter,

red, orangy.

The sands spring,

filled with zing,

make promises

happy,

sanguine.

Doves coo,

Roses too,

switch from white

to xanthous,

then blue.

The stars hide,

slyly invite,

incite,

to indite.

A little away,

beneath the tide,

green

& golden

jellyfish bide.

Between the two

carnations few

lend their purple,

pinky hue.

As light

fades

& brings in

the night,

aureate sky,

hazy sea,

a murder of crows

drifts, flows.

The music plays on,

church bells ring,

into the darkness

fireflies sing.
