Reflection's mist, reluctant to part
cast ebony shadows on mildewed tomorrows;
Her algid spirit, caught in the web
separating time and space..
She sighs, in tender resignation,
a soft whisper from mythical skies.
A borrowed chill, of ancient times
waking to sunswept lawns.
Subtle, she walks, through parted windows
unknown, unseen and unheard...
