Ghostly vespers
nightly dreams,
flickering tricks
unravelling seams.
Falling deeper
darkness reigns,
talons clawing
mind insane.
Screaming silence
none will hear,
twilight brings
obscure frontiers.
Racing through
shadowy hours,
awaiting light
giving daylight's power.
Day's sweet breath
awakens heart,
streaming sunlight
grace imparts.
