Theme: Night Emotion: CuriosityColor: Silver Season: Autumn Form: Villanelle Object: Mirror Verb: Whisper
The silver mirror learns what night can keep, While autumn whispers through the falling leaves; What wakes within the darkness while we sleep? A moonlit question troubles the deep, And gathers where the quiet water weaves; The silver mirror learns what night can keep. The stars descend their staircase toward the steep Reflections d r i f t i n g underneath the eaves; What wakes within the darkness while we sleep? A single owl turns secrets in its sweep, Its shadow crossing silvered fields and sheaves; The silver mirror learns what night can keep. Who taught the moon its patient watch to keep? Who taught the wind the language that it leaves? What wakes within the darkness while we sleep? The lake lies still beneath the hill's dark sweep, Yet something stirs the image it receives. The silver mirror learns what night can keep, What wakes within the darkness while we sleep?
