Immortal

Pale and silver, hangs in the sky

Floating within the waters, shy

Whence out of the depth, a sparkling flock 

Consumes the edge of mortal walk 

Daytime bows to fateful death

Tinted light and blossoming breath

Baby blue flowers widen their eyes

To gaze at swirling, specular skies

Below, the waves become the sky

Where lover's souls sing by and by

Deep blue water fades to gray

But holds the moon in stark array

The scene set forth ensnares the eyes

That long admire the old but wise

windows looking into darkness past 

The essence of the midnight vast
