Mist and shadow

mist in darkness, silver in black paint
a mystery that no-one can see
sliding through water,dancing unto fire
twriling to an unheard song sung
moonlight glows, starlight shimmers
the darkness veiled by torches of light
clouds of white are colours so bright
with a moon like a silver rose
silence deafens, nothing dare disturbs
piercing eyes surround, still and not a noise in sight
dangers await unless seen by a keen eye
stones and brambles owned by no-one
cool air chilled by freedom so great
purity matters not in the darkness of shade
all are equal and none shall respite
together forever, both to love and to hate
a distant lake shining so bright
a thousand diamonds dance for joy and light
a ripple disturbs the calmed water so smooth
traveling on forever, forever and dieing
fire flies light up a clear and bold night
creating starts otherwise unseen
the perfect night to dance and sing
with no audience but a silent silver moon
