Clouds Darken The Plain Swiftly Poem by Terence George Craddock

swiftly cross gone or overcast
bestow enduring sedimentary shadows;
mountains band all horizons within these valleys,
in shadow mountains move move in,

shadow swallows land in light tricks
denial toning out colour bright spectrums
seasoned beauty nature's growth colours,
sepia mountain tones reddish-brown rich

brown pigment rocks ribs mountain flesh;
light lost inks out warm colours
lost into crevice dark shadows

creeping crumbling detail into shades
black upon grey as valleys grow deeper as plains
shrink into darkened deeper river torrents;
