A Night With the Gods

A  Night with the gods

 

With a shrill cry

piercing the moonless night

stilling the witless

freezing the fleeing shadows

enveloping  midnight dreams

with fleeting glimpse

of fretting hopes

dissipating into the darkened night

 

The strange and the brave

exerting an ineffable aura 

strutting their implacable will 

rousing the heavens

subtly feeding on the blinking stars

unraveling murky visions

bundling the infallible truth

racking the oracle with doubts
