Dark and Mystical
The darkness of a moon shadowed star
covered my world in a filament of doubt,
awakened beings from a slumbering peace
to roam the ethereal plain of life’s edges.
Worms danced in the dampened cool
entranced by the music of the mist,
coyotes bristled at the unknown
stilled by a presence yet unseen.
Fairies, nymphs, demonic succubi
adrift in passionless desire,
shapeless beings, homeless waifs,
wandering in search-less seeking.
Lovers of the flimsy heart of night
in delicate submission to its fate
succumb – because they are
the darkness of a moon shadowed star.
