How can I write a shadow beautiful? <br />It is elusive, haunting as old verse. <br />The wind transcribes the dusk upon pale leaves. <br />I touch your hand to prove the mood is real. <br /> <br />A cloud or two portends day's epitaph. <br />Friend, linger takes us where all lyrics go. <br />The picture is an echo of itself. <br />No sound is needed to configure song. <br /> <br /> <br />(2007)<br /><br />Sandra Fowler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-shadow-beautiful/
