Crescent moons were her eyes
Molten silver her flowing dress
The night sky receded in her presence
And the stars adorned her like jewels
A strange cosmic elegance emanated from her
An almost unreal grace and beauty
The likes of which is not know
In this world or any other
My eyes were blinded by her brilliance
But my heart was darkened as well
As if a great immemorial sorrow
Originated from somewhere within her
I wished to reach out and touch her
If only briefly
But the more i tried
The further she withdrew
Until she was but a faint light
Far off in the depths
And to this day looking at the night sky
I feel that eternal sorrow
That once she shared with me
