Midnight Reflections

The silvery veil of moonlight
Is worn by this majesty of night.
She walks silently, serenelythrough the trees,
Whispering to the animals.
I move closer to this exquisite moonlit vision.
She looks at me with big brown eyes,
Like eerie dark ponds in the woods at night.
Her eyes hold mine...
For an instant I am hypnotized,
Until she shyly turns away
To look again at the midnight sky.
Her long dark hair...
Tickles her trembling naked shoulders.
Her small hands cover her face as she sobs.
She feels alone, sad, afraid...
I catch a last glimpse of her
As she silently slips into the dark forest.
I sense her shyness, her fear...
I blink hard and turn away from the mirror.
