Ethereal Music.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Ethereal Music.

 

Shadowy movements of ethereal
music play nebulous games
with the moonlight's white fingers
across uncanny skyscapes.

 

Tonight diaphanous curl of filmy
grey smoke whispers its
journey along water's dark mask
with swirls of limpidity.

 

Time abandoned tiffany dances 
mosaic of dewdrop-beauty 
on a blackening trout's fishy back
making striated translucence.

 

Thru' glassy mist night-jet hangs
gauze over sickle-shaped
glow netting half-lit luna lantern 
with pale flickered moon-face.

 

Clouds part and I stand entranced
as the rare yellow ghost
of a flimsy late rainbow skims past
leaving its spell for a moment.

          I immediately visualized the auroras, and their ethereal dance, and imagined the music if we could hear it.
          Again, another engrossing piece.
