Lady Dweller
There dwells
A lady among us,
Her, we trust or mistrust.
She goes on and on.
She blinds us until she has gone.
Makes us think real hard.
But will not reveal the hidden card.
The voices deep inside her head,
Their shrill tones eventually shed.
Many dusks slip into dawns,
As she sings us her songs.
She zooms pasts those lonely milestones,
Stranded people she leaves in their waiting homes.
Under her breath she keeps humming,
Tunes of serendipity that keep coming.
Speaks softly to the clouded sky,
she walks the paths, as ponds they fill and dry.
Rains of mystery she makes them pour,
the fields of hopes she grows.
There dwells
a lady among us,
Her, we trust or mistrust.
She goes on and on,
She blinds us until she has gone.
