Lone Witness

[anirbas]

I watch the moon rise
beginning her lone ascent
into darkling skies.

Her white countenance
veiled with leafless tree
crowns as though black
mantilla lace were laid
artlessly across her face.

Her aloof lunar grin
locked and frozen
in a grimace of despair
the lone mute witness
of earth's sad demise.

Overrun by the erstwhile
children of the sun,
blinded by the light.
As from the dark
we fall ass over teakettle.

Again and again...

Thanks, Lauren. It might sound trite, but I stand, ahem, read in awe of your talent, lady.
You just slammed me to the wall with words, in one of your threads...LOL...But, you did...
