Midnight Prayer
It is not simply
For evening breeze,
Dark pond, lustrous inky
Sky, hum of crickets,
Cool grass, evensong
Of creatures, that she
Emerges. It is the lure
Of soul awakening,
Nudging, prodding,
Drawing her into depths
Visible only at night. She
Roams moon-soaked fields,
Slips in the swirling river,
As if caught in a ghost
Story of a tragic lost love.
Awakened from death
She finds herself
Where she started–
On bloody knees, halfway
Between dusk and dawn.
