Night Shadows
Posted on Thursday, April 10th, 2008
A walk before dawn during a Northeaster inspired this poem.
“Night Shadows”
Rain hurtles northwest,
Across a black ocean,
In apprentice folly
Rough white-splash paints waves
Which outline the darkened beach,
Scattered debris raised from the deep;
And in this turmoil I seek
To travel night shadows
Out beyond the reckless surf
Where waves tower high,
Break sudden and uneven;
Wind howls swift to drown out
Thoughts of grief in counterpoint
Where peace reigns in this clamor,
As I ride a wave to the depth,
Rise high in breathless chill,
Then descend again eyes tight
In salt spray as white lights flicker
From shore sanctuaries clothed
In doubt and hesitation.
