She yields a lid of color
where her canvas lay dormant,
for the winter, she sings
her mute song, whispering
praise to the bitter sky of twilight -
-black and white-
soul trapped in a bare cascade..
Left of focus
she muses to fly
while her beauty settles
in the empty waves;
crystallizing her deserted shore...

Hmmmm, ok, so this is what far-edged means.
Because I just dont get it at all. But that's nothing new as far as Abstract free verse is concerned. Best of luck to you... Scott
