Night Unfolds

i have no memory
of times now flown
memory is veiled
or covered ‘oer

life’s brilliant moments
have yet to arrive
to grace my path
as an incoming tide

colors gold, silver, copper
unnoticed and diffused
grace other lives
a parsimonious ruse

days are now dark
running all together
as flocks of crows
amassing black feathers

caress filtered light of day
plaintive cries of my soul
blind of what i cannot see
another winter night unfolds
