Tonightl.
Shadowy movements of ethereal
music play nebulous games
with light\'s lacy fingers, weaving
watery lines on sleepy lake.
Tonight diaphanous curl of filmy
grey smoke whispers its
liquid journey along growing dim
with laggard limpidity.
Time holds breath as dusk stacks
essence of tiffany dew
on blackening trout\'s shiny back
in twilight\'s translucence.
Mist covers sky but above hangs
the gauzy sickle-shaped
glow of shade-blinkered lantern
trying to flicker again.
Clouds part and hue entrances
while the beautiful ghost
of a fading rainbow dances its last
as night closes the show.
