Notes About The Poem

Wraith

 Star light why so bright?
you're not a star but a satellite
You hover around like a drone,
but not a drone who is owned

I stare up into the dark night, 
my focus has shifted
somethings not right,
fuzzy haze in the twilight

A hood covers its glowing eyes
It hovers in invisible disguise
Concentrate not on the orb 
surrounding it lights absorbed

Once it's seen you can't unsee
you wish it were just a dream
Transparent is its shape and form
Is it alive or never born?

Like a wraith one of the undead
watching you from overhead
Will, it benefit mankind on its way,
or unveil itself on Judgment day?

Arturo Michael July 12, 2019 at 2:24 AM Nice Sheila...Love the writing style... Sheila Van Zant July 12, 2019 at 3:23 AM Glad you like it. On a cloudless night with no other light in the sky but stars, drones and satellites, step outside and look at one of the satellites (the moving ones) and if you shift focus just a bit you will see a haze surrounding it almost like a invisible visible forcefield - tell me what shape you see an outline of that is surrounding the light - this will make a lot of sense afterwards.
