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.
