A Gathering

Night endures
Sun retreats from the cold
Pale moon wears a welcome glow
Darkness’ hand retains its grip on the Earth
Autumn’s past, winter is present and future
Hourglass freezes in time
Palette wiped of all shades of grey
Cold stream sigh
Harsh wind blow
Grievance die
Ember glow
Rejoice in tragedy
Pure dark night before the dawn

Behold the gathering
New star beyond the sky

Set fire to old home
No need where you go
