New Light Unspoken

Nocturnal flower

In need of sleep

Your petals wilt

The count for sheep

 

New dawn unpromised

The die is cast

A croupier wearing

Sun’s setting mask

 

Through endless courtship

Faith on the run

A Jester whispers

“Your dreams have come”

 

The meadow waiting

Its reaper gone

New light unspoken

  —your buds in song

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
