Lost This Day
   3-11-01

The sun sets under a watchful moon
to burn the other side of the globe
with tendrils of fire
that spiral
from across a black void of icy silence

My skin tightens
with the cool dusk breeze
that rolls over the land

a chilled sigh of satisfaction
sent from the lips of a lost goddess
with luminous skin and feral eyes

My mind aches
to comprehend the questions asked
of me by her
Dusk queries
offers of absolution and final peace

I find myself wondering
if the peace is deserved
by one such as
myself-

Will it ever be mine to sustain-
if ever I will find my comfort
in a bed of fallen leaves and cool moss,
to sit and watch the wind of eons
chase the dust of my bones
to the hidden hollows of this forest

Perhaps to finally slip into space
and join the stars
that mock these eyes,
staring heavenward
rimmed with tears
that no one sees.
