A Night of Unend

Inspired by The Night Will Never Stay written by Eleanor Farjeon located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

Twas a night of cold sorrow that filled a soul aquiver

Timeless and uneventful it closed tucked itself around shoulders full of cold chill

Blankets of dark covered the ground with obscurity dark with unknown menace prowling about

Watching from above where stars stars noting every movement, gesture and theatrics of all on podium that entertained the God’s above

The Wind whispered to all who would hear when will day come when will day come

A moon of sad looked down and said I care not for I am alone always with a face of different portray I will

Can we slip away from a night of unend that leaves tears twinkling like dew everywhere and plays a tune of sorrow on a cricket’s fiddle until dawn arise
