Sinuous Grace

WL Schuett

I stood there unmanned by silence 

and darkness 

the scent of ancient timbers 

and old dusty papers 

 

a flame danced upon the 

unwholesome air 

for a small eternity I stood in 

the breath of moonlight 

 

in the cool evening air 

my head cleared instantly 

a distant dog bark drifted acrossed the 

haze of a cobbled lane 

 

she heard the front door slam as 

she read from a book with no pictures 

that auburn hair 

that sinuous grace 

 

meandering , exquisitely drawn out 

perfectly sustained 

a sweet high note 

 

looking further into my  heart then 

I would have thought possible 

that labyrth inside catacombs 

I felt content in the warmth 

of her rising sun
