The Mourning Light
no sign of the sun
the morning is full of storm
framed by steel gray clouds
the heavens melt down
weeping angels fill the sky
shedding bitter tears
the mud and the roots
drown in relentless sorrow
shallow and hollow
restless winds of March
ruffle the raven’s feathers
ashes to stardust
sepia snapshots
the essence of life wavers
in the mourning light
