Moonlit Waltz through a GraveyardA Poem by Orpheus
Hand in hand Spinning in circles The couple dances Tombstones Bleached by moonlight Silvered by frost Surround them A glowing Shimmering Their feet leave marks In the frosted grass As they dance Over a mans Final resting place Over small hills Of dirt, bone, and flesh A ghostly orchestra Backgrounds their dance Spectral musicians Providing the music The dead rise from their grave Pushing aside coffins Dirt Rocks To dance once again An unholy display Through the bleached bones The phantasmal players The couple dances Hand in hand Waiting for dawn to rise The sunlight Diffusing their spirits Back to their graves © 2008 Orpheus |
