Ethereal Music.

Ethereal Music.

A Poem by 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.

impossible to read and take in fully within a single session .. these words are quite exquisite first time round but both need, and are so deserving of subsequent visits in order to appreciate their full beauty...

Rich phrases describing colourful moments: a series of haunting glimpses very beautifully penned, Fay.
