Silver Girl

silver girl

cool and untouchable
created of moonlight and mist
pale as the snow egrets 
feasting in the shallows
time can not reach her
never laid its withering hand
upon her brow.

alone forever
wrapped in her own existence
she sails through life
leaving nothing 
her legacy invisible.

This is stunning, Patricia!! The imagery is simply breathtaking. "Pale as the snow egrets feasting in the shallows". You could be reading Ezra Pound straight out of the Cantos. Truly remarkable writing. My very dearest regards! :) john
