Shades shift fade imperceptible
Moonlight flicker trees dance
Shadow-cloaked earth
Window-slit wind hymn
to spirits of darkness
conjures powers eldritch and old
The One in All:
chromatic dimensioned spheres
colors sing and shatter
f r a g m e n t
(nothing but stars)
Where stars burn fiercely
Old Ones play
Incomprehensible
And dark abyssal eyes
wait silent and wise
Warned caught entranced
I am seduced enraptured
Into night-warm wells of sleep
