The Book of Days…part xxxviii

the vestige of a sky

…the draggled remnant of nameless clouds,

receding, with no spark of life,

adrift in plainest end of day,

so vain

with striving to be rain,

and limply waiting

for a dark

that will obscure far hills

and lazing lake below,

and make a reason

to wait for one more dawn.
