Shadows At Night

Night Shadow Twilight almost faded in western sky Sun was down snatching my shabby shadow Starry sky brought Moon dim sad crescendo. Full moon expected next to tomorrow. Moon light put my depressed shadow to lie. I sat on solitary bank of stream Little brittle ripples danced, not to cease. Speed of whimsy wind started to increase My cluster of hairs rustling in strong breeze I glanced second shadow as if in dream. Second shadow mad me too curious Hazy smog prevailed and mystic mist dripped Startled thrilled with touch on my lips, that slipped. Through torn cumulus clouds maroon Moon peeped. Both shadows running simultaneous. Being scared alert, I stood up but found none My sweet heart, my love was supposed to come He must had hidden himself behind Palm Quickly I moved fast to find my handsome Pair of ghostly shadows started to run. He himself didn’t come but had sent shadow Moon was behind, two shadows were moving ahead I was relieved and felt safe being guarded Both shadows made for each other in parade. I got two shadows as fellows to follow. 11/06/15 Second place on Contest Mysterious Night by Nayda Ivette Negron 'STRAND SELECT 10' Contest by Brian Strand
