It weighed there heavy, dark like a cloud,

Rolling about the sky unchained, changing,

Changing me with it. Lament and shame for the toll,

Prices paid, yet no debts accrued. Edge of sanity.

In misery, there is a comfort unlike the happiness,

That is fleeting, Manifestly I wandered into obscurity,

The moon in her brilliance peeked through like lace on skin,

Fingers entwined in hair, thin legs clamored clumsily.

I walked not seeking but knowing where I wandered,

The outcome brusque and bleak. Settling for fears and doubts,

Preparing for the marvelous.
