13.11.2025: The Emissary

The resolute white of 

Cranes' wings in flight

Strike! the battleship-

Steel-grey sky, and

Slash the seamless, fog-drawn dawn;


A brilliance, bright as the

Summer's Sun

All calls to mind, how even now,  

In darkest November, 

When exhaustion pulls 

Me back to slumber—  


The sweetness of dreams, 

(When all of mine have 

Come undone,)

It's not yet time to 

Give in, nor give up, 


There's promises waiting, 

Like bulbs under frost; 

If I can hold on 

Through long Winter's dark, 

At the end of this season, 


A new Spring will come.
