Spectres - Lost Children

Desolation sheltered me,

And distance gave some respite from the fray,

As ivy wraps around my limbs.

Specters in midsummer rain,

Iridescent purple green and grey.

Wisps of light across my face.

Watch aurora’s twisting interplayoops

And wait.

The edge of wonder indistinct,

Clasp my hands, but I can’t hold onto it,

Tangled in a silken filament.

Specters in midsummer rain,

Opalescent, turning slow and strange.

Adrift yet with subtle grace

Spellbound i stare and wait

And wait.
