Of Gentle Hue

rose
gently brushes
the heavens
softening my heart
toward evening

yet
before I’m ready
night floods
the sky
with
an ebony
chill

a melancholy
for which
I’m not prepared
overcomes
me

tears
slowly drip
my heart to sleep
a welcome
sedative

for
joy comes
in the morning
it’s a promise
realized

as I rise
to mauve
bits of fluff
against
a baby blue
hue

drying
the moisture
that had remained
of spent tears
as a sweet refrain
lifts me
from slumber
eased with faith
in new mercy
new beginning
new day

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Truly a beautifully expressive piece of writing!

Thanks, loads, EA, you are very sweet!

I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
