A Ribbon Of Darkness Poem by David Harris

A Ribbon Of Darkness

Rating: 5.0


A ribbon of darkness
streaks across the sky
as far as the eye can see
to beckon on the night skies
at the dusk of day.

A ribbon of darkness
embedded within life’s sorrow,
we hope within our hearts
will all soon fade away.

A ribbon of darkness
that attaches itself to everyone
when twilight skies
eventually come to call.

A ribbon of darkness
that beckons sleep to come
to every nodding head
and death to all those
lying on death’s bed.

I know that ribbon....wish I could find a pair of scissors and cut the ties...seems both are invisible....I know they are there...but fumble around in the dark to find them....sad piece...but I truly can relate to it
