Battle

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Battle.

 

Settling mysterious glow on late 
sky's afternoon show

Phoebus hazily parts blown veils

on early twilight's face
by pushing her fading round bulk

between striated clouds.

 

Rays beat moon's rising attempts 
to end day and outpace

dying light's race by interference

when sun shines again

from behind each vestige of grey.

 

Desiring to taste more this defiant

spread of victorious

display as empty beach beckons
I drink shades of linked

battle between daylight and dark

as moon winks at stars
to bid blue goodbye in apt finalé 

then old Sol sinks.

            • L. B. Mek

              I really appreciate the gentle rhythmic sway of owned brilliance in all your writes Fay!
              it's in the coaxing gentle lull of those trademark early lines,
              as if: they know this work will be wonderful and they need not rush to grasp at foraging hands and eyes, those that can feel poetry will know - they are in the presence of pure poetic authenticity as the stanzas unroll and your words seep-in - ever deep,

              • Fay Slimm.
