I look for spirits in the night, But fail in my endeavor, Perhaps of what it is I seek, Is but for me too clever. When the plains have taken evening’s glow, And birds have hushed their song, Into night’s darkness I proceed, I rush ahead headlong. Into the shadows; eboned depths, Into the void precarious, I wend my way in blinded haste, I wend my way temerarious. How calm it is when earth is muffled, By blackness of the night, As I seek spirits never found, As rue my mortal plight. |

Tim...Be sure to wear a heavy jacket out there...it may be quiet, but also very cold. Enjoyed your musings, as always. |

When the plains have taken evening’s glow, And birds have hushed their song, Into night’s darkness I proceed, I rush ahead headlong. Into the shadows; eboned depths, Into the void precarious, I wend my way in blinded haste, I wend my way temerarious. ~&~ Yes! |

Tim, I grew up on a midwestern U.S. farm. When I was a teenager, I used to have to get up about 4-5 am. in the morning and go field the animals -- it was still dark out and before sunrise. Your poem brought back memories to this nowcitygirl of the mysterious walks in the darkness before the world would awake. Thanks, I enjoyed this muchly. |

eboned...rue... your excellent choice in vocabulary really assists in stting a certain mood... I feel a little cold, dark and romantic in the traditional sense. I like this poem. |
