An Evening Promise

34 Comments

Riled up clouds go lumbering by,

Stirring up unsettled sky,

Wispy, misty moisture passes,

Light diffused upon its masses.

 

Sun’s last efforts streaming low,

Just before it lets us go,

Into darkness for some hours,

As the clouds spit out their showers.

 

Promises of warmer rays,

Shining down in coming days,

Though Sun sleeps behind the hill,

It will rise again, it will.

 

Morning rays revitalize,

More than we can realize,

But for now it says good night,

Telling all of us, “Sleep tight.”

    The photo and the poem perfectly reflect our weather conditions today. Love those hues of pink and grey/blue in the sky in your photo.

      Thanks, Jill. The light was really pretty just then. I only wish my camera skills were better to capture it all. It seems to want to filter out the pinks and reds. But you get the “picture” anyway.

    I have to say, Anneli, there is some Robert Frost in you. Which I love.

      I really had hoped to get out of that “jaunty little rhyme” kind of poetry, but I don’t have it in me to be more. Having said that, I do like Robert Frost’s poetry, so maybe that’s why I can’t let go of the rhyming couplets.
