Ordinary

he said, "I am an ordinary stone" ~ in one nocturnal rendezvous and vanished in sky's tenebrosity before her hands could reach to embrace him ~ a gentle gypsy wind dulcified her dolesome heart and set her to slumber a shooting star arrowed in elegiac ebony evening~ and as she opened her eyes she found a stone that dazzled midst the darkest night behind her 10 May 2022 A Brian Srrand Premiere Choice Poetry Contest 8th Place
