IN THE MIST SHE WAS STANDING

Seven milestones...
Under a watching autumn eye
Contorted trees are spreading forth
The message of the wind

With frozen hands I rode with the stars

With anger the wind blew
Giving wings to my stallion
Clouds gathered across the moon
Blazing, the white light

Passing the lake I know so well
I am near, yet so far away

Arrival...
I saw her shadow (standing) in the darkness
Awaiting me like the night
Awaits the day
Standing silent smiling at my presence
A black candle holds the only light

Darkness encloses
And the candles seem to expire
In her cold, cold hand
And as a forlorn soul
It will fade away

Touching her flesh in the night
My blood froze
froze forever
Embraced before the dawn
A kiss brought total eclipse

And she spoke
Once and forever
I am so cold
In mist enrobed the twilight
She was standing...

Sigh.... man you HAVE to get published!! I am entirely taken with your poetry!! This poem has the same atmosphere as Tennyson's description of the lady of the lake,but this is even more interesting because she is surrounded by night,truely breath taking...

Well you said this was the first of five
So where are the rest!!!
I can't wait to read them!
The image you create
is far beyond beautiful!

Excellent work, as usual, Lethe, it's good to see you posting again. I thought that this was one of the others brought back into view. Wish I'd noticed it sooner...
