MUTED GREY
6 June 2011

Nights linger longer
wide-skyed, slow-eyed,
shadows dancing
to the butterfly beat
of sigh-soft whispers
in the wake
of a woodnymph
fading into
the slow grace
of her death-dance
in winter cold.

...there's a beautiful cadence to this (and of course, those lovely hy-phen-8's)

Beautiful in its melancholy. Dawn might pretend a welcome-light-dance to renew the woodnymph's joie de vivre.

Love,
