[bodytext] => A Night or Forever?
----------------------------------------------- Shifting shadows driven by aimless breezes Conceal then reveal then conceal again In a slow dance of moonlight and shadow Cover my path both in front and behind. Ghostly figures become naught but illusion Moonlight slain, resurrected by shadows Stalking silently along ever watching me Staring in silent hunger, eternally patient. East, west, north, south, all become one Twins of twins laughing in play, dancing Playing blind man's bluff with all senses Swaddling the night with soft, whiteness. At the end of forever I sit and watch them Angel or devil or both riding the night winds Whisper of lovers, fetid stench of all dying Honeyed promises, bitter denials, truth in all lies. Colder than ice is the chill of their fingers Gathering me to them, all heat fades away Muted and empty, the past of the future They wrap it around me, "You must wear it", they say. My shroud wrapped around me I watch them depart The sun fades the shadows; the fog disappears Yet one thing remains, a gift from the darkness In the cold light of day I know it's still there.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
