Like the clouds, overcast, against the night

Eclipsing the colors, of twilight sky

Seeking to cover, the never ending light

Which vows to remain, from the heavens, high

A swirling eddy, obscures, bringing in the dark

Yet, the brightness will never be finished

There will, forever, remain this spark

That lights the darkness, never diminished

Silently, behind the window
Lost, in a house of dismay

Reflective moments in the glass
She sits there, day after day

Too many stones, left upturned
Not enough time to amend them

Excuses made, in every which way
Shattered, as she tries to defend them

Emptiness, fills the quiet room
As she refuses to believe, it is she

Who causes this to happen, over again
Defying, her own inadequacies

A mother’s love is true

For it beautifully blossoms

Like a rose, softly unfolding,

Enveloping,

Opening the heart,

Nurturing the soul

Sitting on the branch of the big ole tree

A spotted speck, lazing happily

Hiding, among the verdant needles

A happy place, for this little beetle

I wonder next, where she will lay

Ladybugs visit, but they never stay

Blackened eyes that bare the night
She hides, in the alley way
A mission, she must carry out
One they talked about today

Dressed for shadows, against the light
She could stay, without being seen
Many were gathering, in the square
She would wait, for them, to convene

Quietly, on the rain soaked street
She could hear them, so many voices
The demon within her, now unleashed
And her darkened soul, easily rejoices

One by one, she silenced them
Until the blood ran from her lips
Her deed was carried out, quite well
All before the moon’s final eclipse
