Zariah Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Foamy grey clouds close above A nameless stranger loiters As the carnival ends and lights go out He hides his face beneath his satin cloak As he holds out a cup in silence Filled only with small change, he silently laughs Feeling powerful and impenetrable Knowing his ploy would go untarnished A lonely girl plops a quarter in his cup and passes by Heading toward the docks and open sea Haunting shadows whisper tales of the past And she shivers in her summer dress Creeping in the shadows, he nears his prey And he hesitates as spirits fill the air Parting skies open to the celestial beings Most radiant is the crimson moon He waits in darkness willed to quench his thirst She stands propped at the end of the dock Gazing at this unreal scene of nature As he approaches, she remains dazed Silently, he cups his hand over her mouth And grabs her around the waist with his other hand Muffling her scream, he turns her around Her eyes open wide in surprise “Happy Birthday Sis- I’m back from the War!” He lets go and opens his arms And she hugs her big brother in pure happiness So shines the crimson moon Full of hope and answered prayers.
