The Lady of Whitelace Castle

Into the inky darkened elegance of moon’s hushed serenade Within the clove of stately elms her presence soon promenades; The Lady of Whitelace Castle dressed in a grand and stately manner shimmers about through frosty limbs causing many to flee in terror She brings with her an afterglow that blushes the unearthly scene she remains, to some, a welcomed guest to others an astonishing dream This lady in ghost white apparel drifts about from tree to tree searching in vain for love unattained perchance could she find it in thee? © Debra Squyres 2013/12/30

That crystaline knowledge of Stevie Nicks you cant learn in college, it never sticks. But embers of coolness from a summer breeze. These ghost's of tomorrow will eternally please. Peace. :)

Debra- thank you for welcoming me and thank you for your comment on my first poem in decades! I hope that life doesn't take me away from writing again..this I have allowed. I love the other-world atmosphere of this poem. I felt hushed while reading it as if I breathed, it would intrude upon the scene! Just beautiful! Barbara boyd
