The Enigmatic

Dangling in the depths of dread Repeating in phases the fading night faces Recurring as sun and Earth wed. A vague picture of a time escapes to the clouds A sea of lightless shrouds Lingering where muted terrors twine. Skies in shyness watch and mourn their child's endless decay withering white to gray Unaware Between two fates now torn. The spirit cries out in vain at what fails to evolve and lifelong strives to solve the puzzles concealed within the rain.

Thanks. Dylan Thomas is a hero to me, so I tried to make this one sound a little like him. But that's far from easy...
