Closes Yet Again The Night Comments

Now this I do like Imagination, and almost a sense of the unknown, 10 plus Tracy x

Explosive - I was drawn into the imagery, to hear, to see and to admire this moving tribute paid in such fine style and grace. The darkest of days, even the darkest of nights, takes its toll and time, before light shines.

Wonderful use of imagery here Laurie, a very well written piece. Best wishes, Andrew

Another moving elegy Laurie. Will the Darkness pass as night? An excellent verse to repeat. The bagpipes add the final touch of melancholy yet give purpose. An excellent write Laurie.

it will pass. it never last........... at least if you are of light.

How very well you have created a thoughts provoking piece...i can feel the pain and horror in your vivid imagery...very effective write! thanks for sharing :)

Wow, you have said so much in such a brief poem. Said it very well too. It kind of raised my goosebumps! Thank you, so glad to have found this one.

I, like Karin, assume this poem reflects the ultimate horror of war. Raw pain and emotion pervade every line: 'trembling fingers catch a breath/ tasting life with fingertips' sends shivers. Beautifully written. S

Laurie, as Jasmin says this is so profound and 'dreams are numbered, out of order, so original. I guess it is a soldier and I feel drawn in to this unfortunate soul. A powerful and sensitive poem. 10 Karin Anderson

Powerful image in this well written poem of the kissing of the crucifix by one barely able to do so. Pain and suffering hangs on every line of the poem and the threat of darkness. A poem worth going back to again just to feel the pain of another. Read my 'Fledgling' or 'My Cell'.

will darkness pass as night? i believe so...even the darkest of days...and even the darkest of nights... a soulful exploration of a difficult subject....
