Splendour Sleeps Poem by Scott Hastie

Splendour Sleeps



Splendour sleeps
In the thick still grey skies
Of a season's bleakness.

The steady muted glow of the sun,
Its sorry circle of gold
Highlighting the snow covered,
White-edged portrait
Of a winter's afternoon.

Inside the ashes of the fire
Burn red raw.
We talk and your eyes dance
In patterns of pleasure before me.
