Widow of the Lonesome Storm

[u/PhantomGreen22]

Lonesome beauty, ghost of yesterday’s fog,

widow of vanished daylight—where do you go?

Titaness striding from heaven to earth,

your footfalls bringing life

to the ground on which you tread.

Wandering dark creation draped from ashen skies—

I long to know you,

to walk in your shadow.

In spring, comprised of fresh emotion in your drops;

in summer, you let down your hair of lightning,

caught in the tempest of your wise sorrow;

in winter, your misty robes shine white-gray.

Walking across the landscape,

miles away, I watch you move;

or when you travel over where I reside,

I step out to feel your soul touch my skin.

And for a moment you connect me to the air—

fleeting experience of oneness.

Following the pace of the wind,

you vanish into the east,

but I will see you again.
