Lateness of Light


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

Clouds lay in colour
one blends upon another

burnished pines serene
among rocky ridges

outcrop of silence –-
a wilderness domain.

The tundra witness
to each sunset

from red to yellow tinge
and early light to dim:

now colour it black.

I like this very much Richard. One thing - in line 2, you didn't mean blends did you?

Thank you for your observation. I do believe your suggestion is more in tune with the flow of words. Thanks again. RLP
