A ribbon of darkness <br />streaks across the sky <br />as far as the eye can see <br />to beckon on the night skies <br />at the dusk of day. <br /> <br />A ribbon of darkness <br />embedded within life’s sorrow, <br />we hope within our hearts <br />will all soon fade away. <br /> <br />A ribbon of darkness <br />that attaches itself to everyone <br />when twilight skies <br />eventually come to call. <br /> <br />A ribbon of darkness <br />that beckons sleep to come <br />to every nodding head <br />and death to all those <br />lying on death’s bed. <br /> <br />16 June 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-ribbon-of-darkness/
