She is of the night
Cloaked glimpse – this face
fails
Into the night
The time drawn from
night
Light dark
There in spirt she is
Does she know?
Her robe I can see
But cannot touch
The breeze feels and she
Breezes creates
Another fine muse in
the
Airs mists
An elegiac queen or
Just elegiac
The night’s gothic hint
Where all predictions
Have been lost and washed
Away – again
To the memories
Immortal Ocean
Sybil sits with back the
moon
Over the ocean
As the seasons wash
away
Seemingly never to
Return again
Never to be seen
The wish like oceans
Relentlessness
Recklessness beats on and
on
Her musings are
In her eye the
reflection
Makes sense
Strange senses
Are found and felt
Did the poet find her?
Or was he searching for
And if he find her
What would he say?
Are his words enough
Are there words enough
As fades across the night
With her shawl
Never to be seen again
The poet in his blindness
He is lost –
Will only ever be lost
Mumbling strangely
Into the night
As she moves on
Among the mists
