“Clarity”
© 2024 by Michael L. Utley
“in my twilight world the seasons blur
snow on flowers, freezing summer rain
I seek clarity
dim uncertainty
gloaming settles on this silent vale
neither night nor day exists for me
in the mist beyond the frozen stream
yurei whisper in the burning woods
Yomi’s fey lament
nowhere left to go
hesitance and indecisiveness
stranded on the threshold of the fates…”
