Requiem
Into the evening light
Falls a heart shaped cloud,
White plumed and calling
With Island eyes, sublime.
Drifting down, shielded
In oblivion, smiling,
Her translucent neck
Dissolves into depths,
The sun too weak to
Save her, she will surely
Drown into the fading
Horizon, she cannot loom.
Scents of ocean breeze
Sweeten the loss, she is gone.
