by D. Savannah George

In the moon-blue evening,
where shadows fall like leaves
beneath weeping willows
bent by age and care

where creatures of the night
weep in outrage
and fairies no longer dance
-- they've forgotten how --

where wraiths drift and eddy
on the night wind's breath
and tread on flowers
dying, dying, shorn

where human souls get lost
and never return
to the light of day
and warmth of love

in the moon-blue evening,
after the sun goes down,
before the sky has faded
i listen, and hope, to hear the song
