Sunlight shines, an empty shrine

Casts shadows, on pavement, dark

There is not another soul in sight

The land lays silent, vacant, stark

Fences guard, who was once kept there

No access to the mortal human being

For only spirits know the true secrets

To release his soul, forever freeing

Listen, in quiet solitude, and wait

Though you may never hear a sound

Their presence fills this empty void

With a noise, that is quite profound

Shadows trace the figure
Cast upon an empty sea
She stands against
The pallid sky
A blended symphony

Light against the muted tones
It draws her ever near
Calling her back
Into the realm
She slowly disappears

The sun begins to shimmer
Casting an ethereal glow
Gracefully
She glimmers within
The circle of her halo

She rises from the waters
Her ethereal being flows

Billowing silken threads
Shadows in the throes

Of muddied liquid ripples
Chilled, against her skin

A soul, that’s buried far below
Her spirit, deep within

The sands of time, forever
She withstands, her body frail

Searching for the one she loves
Will she, at last, prevail?

She’ll rise again, tomorrow
In hopes, she’ll see him soon

Standing where she saw him last
Beneath the Harvest Moon

Twilight reaches for the night

When darkening clouds invade

Covering the last of sun

With thick and dusky shade

Disguised within a blackening sky

Luminous shadows emerge

Eventide, sunset’s light

When day and night converge

leaves-766959_960_720
I lurk in the shadows

That block out the sun

Long for the hours

When daylight is done

Dwell in the darkness

Tis where I’m content

Hidden, unnoticed

Is how my life’s spent

I am one with the creatures

Who stir in the night

Awaiting the sunset

To silence the light
