.


In street lamp’s light
A faint white mist
Hovers over
Sleepers’ dreams

If any
At all the bustles
Of the previous day
Making room
For those to come
Have passed away

Dawn slowly arrives
Behind the clouds
And birds appear
In the damp gray air

And on a road
Leading nowhere now
With April older
By another year
A soft spring rain

I enjoyed the pictures you created with your language.  Especially
"In street lamp’s light
A faint white mist
Hovers over
Sleepers’ dreams"
that was my favorite part.

well done!

"And on a road
Leading nowhere now
With April older
By another year
A soft spring rain"

"APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
  Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
  Memory and desire, stirring
  Dull roots with spring rain"

--T.S. Eliot (of course!)

Applause for John's fine 'penning!'

It took something very special to make me not hate April… Your words.

This is beautiful, with a feeling of longing
that touches the heart.
