MIRACLE, by                    
First Line: Dull, leaden clouds move heavily across the sky
Last Line: The world lies immaculate, radiant, clean.
Subject(s): Life


Dull, leaden clouds move heavily across the sky,
With fretful, fitful mood the wind-grieved trees complain;
The sodden air is filled with swirls of stifling dust—
A faded world lies dead. Will life return again?

Twilight lingers ... dies.
Night ... wanes.
Darkness trembles ... flies.
Day ... reigns.

In glistening brightness like a queen new-gowned,
Bespangled with diamonds and silvery sheen,
In shimmering whiteness like a king new-crowned
The world lies immaculate, radiant, clean.
