The Watcher
Linda Ruzicka
Molten sunlight chases the
grey shadows
of the early morning dawn
Mist rises in eerie
spectral haunting
neither here nor there
Scents ride the wind
almost tangible
but as yet undefined
Leaves twist and turn
pale undersides
exposed to the watcher
The watcher breathes deeply
in rhythm
to the essence of Her.
