Ethereal


Through the shadows, she creeps

Looking downward, deep in thought

Flame from candles masks the tears she weeps

Her soul lost, her meaning sought

She breathes an echo

She sees no light

She hears no sound

In the dead of night

She stops upon the witching hour

And fades, back into shadow’s power
