Long Night Blowing - a poem of hope and nature.

Another one of my poems from high school, written 1994 and revised in spring 2009, when I added the "chorus" verse. Like "The Great Redeemer," I recently put it to music with guitar accompaniment. This is my most favorite poem that I've ever written.

 

I saw the colt at sunset
in the golden twilight hour
I felt the wind race past him
and I knew I felt his power.
Up in the clouds, the spirits
of the mighty horses run
When I saw the colt at sunset
In the disappearing sun.
 
Chorus:
It's a long night blowing autumn wind up in the pines
It's a long day's journey to the end, but still I find
That hope is here, and God is near, wherever I may go
With this freedom of the mountains, now forever in my soul.
 
I saw the wolf in moonlight
and I knew it won't be long
Until the dawning of the morning
when a new day has begun
In the nightshadows, I wander
in this chill of early fall
As I watch the wolf in moonlight
and I hear his mournful call.
 
Chorus
 
I watch the fire burning
and I know that all is right
There's a silence in the forest
on this one last summer night.
The flames and embers lift my soul
I'm joyful once again
As I watch the fire burning
and I've done all that I can.

Chorus

I can understand why you love this poem, Jodi. It is a fine song that recreates the ambiance of the place and the moments you have alluded to. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes to you,

Your rhyme is right on and you tell a good story in this image-filled poem.
