The Golden Darkness/Mood

​MOOD.
A sky filling with shadow as a flower with rain . . .
A wind grey with the secret moods of the sea . . .
And the old singing comes back again,
And the old, aching perplexity.

The old questioning comes back once more
Asking the little shadows hiding in tears,
Why love cries in the rain outside the door,
And beauty blunders forever down the years.
