Dark dawn

Folder: 
Cries in the night

chilled darkness before the eyes

     pinpoints of light high overhead

whites and blues and palest reds

     in circling dance slowly move

 

long thin line of palest white

     slowly grows into the sky

dark blackness fades to gray

     as tiny lights fade away

 

whiteness slowly turns to blue

     as the land before us comes to view

darkened shapes so hard to see

     slowly form before our eyes

 

sliver of gold before us forms

     growing climbing to the sky

green appears upon the land

     as last points of light disappear

 

bright golden orb within the sky

     as all above becomes azure blue

all the land now in colors that lie

 

     all seen clearly now with  our eyes

Very good, but...

Your stanzas here are well-written, there is natural rhythm in the lines.  But work is required with your punctuation. I'm having a problem with the last line, your rhythm is off with the last two lines. Please don't take it personal, as I rarely give this type of harder critique unless that person is worthy of it. Your work is very worthy of my time and critique. It was a pleasure for me to have read it.
