Greyest Grief

 


Original DDE™ surreal art: “October Moon” by: rob kistner © 10/7/23
 

In a shroud of darkness october wanes
sorrow celebrates the vanishing light
winter smothers autumn’s last refrains
once brightest day now bleakest night

greyest grief stirs in the advancing cold
ghostly mists steal color from our sight
on such a night lost souls are sold
frozen hearts barren as the blight

while slowly rolling in a chromium fog
hawk moon hangs heavy in this black sky
this place forbidding as a sucking bog
this is the hour for dreams to die
