Solemn

Several days

Trumped by darkness

stormed into a brighter

sorrowed evening blossoming

words unspoken

by candlelight

delighted by light hearted laughter

chilling tones of fire in ice

lurching forward

toward tomorrows

dreamt by hearts of old

Where to take the day

or where else it may lead

what more and why then again

as through to the bitterness

time will tell 

tall tales of wonder

searching, it found the end
