Mystic

Photo: into the Rainy Night, Ryan Lynham

wind,

whispering trees

clouds, stars

radiant,

unseen

and again, ever-

moving into darkness

pale riders on

night’s mystic train

night, to day,

to winter, to spring

summer’s

heat arises,

unforeseen,

as tender leaves breathe

as taps the rain,

as life remains.
