Melting Night Virginia Salter creeping, creeping, goes the light as it enters day slowly, silently it washes night away with a seeping flow a tender glow strengthening as minutes go without a word from man or bird it brightens ‘neath a sky of gray wielding its way into the day giving the sleeper no course but to waken to rise to improvise the hours guise of melting night and candling day © April 7, 2001 |

Thanks, Joyce! I'm thinking I should change, "goes the light" to "comes the light" though. Whaddya think? |
