That Night in the Garden – v2

What was the sky like
that night in the garden
it would have been fitting
that no light graced the dark
the clouds low, glowering
blocking out the stars
denying the light

It wouldn’t have been right
after the Passover, the foreboding way
for the stars to be twinkling,
a full moon rising; no
that night in the garden
was shrouded, all closed in
when Judas ran from the Master’s words
