A Wistful Muse

The night it seems, a wistful muse as evening’s peach begins to bruise with shadows stretched in brooding streams A wistful muse, the night it seems A mystic swath, transcending prose Rewrites the night with grand compose The Milky Way, a bardic froth Transcending prose, a mystic swath A spell is cast, when light has fled Unwound from angst of unknown thread Then spun in words of splendor - vast When light has fled, a spell is cast Swap Quatrain 14 Jun 2020
