I am but a face
Haunting, in the hours
When dawn arrives
Christening branches
With golden light
That shines through
My skin, illuminating
The details of a life
Hidden, nestled in
Darkness, breathing
Forests, barren of
Leaves that dangle
Thoughts and dreams
Penetrating souls
Until morning places
Its spirit aside, allowing
Translucent glimmers,
To fade away into
Ebony skies, with me
A specter, awaiting
To frighten the night

Death becomes, a beauty posed
Once a queen, is now deposed
Cast away, in the forest, deep
Left to linger, in eternal sleep
Ashen faced, she disapproves
Of a body that no longer moves
Dressed in burial clothes, she lies
Refusing to ever close her eyes

They raise their faces
And welcome the warmth of spring
With sun’s golden rays

I walk into darkness, unhurried, alone
The sounds of my footsteps, carry on in a drone
Shuffling along streets, once cobblestone
Far away, I can hear them, the words, intone
Shadows surround me, make nary a sound
Darting through buildings, unearthing the ground
Where have I journeyed? What have I found?
I’ve awakened the dead, as they gather around
Taunting and teasing, they play with my mind
I wonder what it is, they hope they can find
Shaking their heads, they seem quite disinclined
To finally make me, one of their kind
Phew….
