Gone

Whistling along night's trail 
Byways dim, meant for the lonely
While she in her  hazy trance
from whiskey- laced bottle,
sings to flowers hidden far from sight --
Toes dancing beside torches in a distance,
she flew home when death left in a flash
with nothing but her beating heart 
to stray away, lost inside her mind.
