Moonlight on the River

[ Edited ]

Moonlight on the river.

Starlight on the snow.

An angry tide, arising...

The screaming of a soul.

 

Moonlight on the river.

Starlight on the snow.

Bitter winds, ablowing...

A desolate crossing, now.

 

Moonlight on the river.

Starlight on the snow.

Blood upon her hands.

Tears now stain her face.

 

Moonlight on the river.

Starlight on the snow.

A single line of footprints,

Pressed into the sand.

 

Moonlight on the river.

Starlight on the snow.

Alone she walks,

Upon a foreign shore.

 

Moonlight on the river.

Starlight on the snow.

Blood dry upon her hands,

Tears, a salty, lingering trace.

 

Moonlight on the river.

Starlight on the snow.

Alone, wayfarer adrift,

Trapped in a cold dark place.

'Of wings and words and dancing milkweed seeds...'

Re: Moonlight on the River

I love this one.
Silence is golden,
Duck tape is silver.
