Shadow and innocence
Color and darkness
My mantle swirls around me
Heating my skin one moment
Exposing it to the caress of night fog
The next,
These butterflies woven
Into the silken black of my mantle
Are striking
Bright blue with yellow highlights
A dream of joy and summer innocence
Taken alone
But they are one with the darkness
Lending strength and grace
To the airy black mantle
I wear in the night
As if wings of my own
Wrapped around me
Dance with my shadow
To the tune of the wind,
I stride into the night
Of wafting fog
Strong and playful
My mantle swirling.
