She stood there staring
With her black eyes
At the stars cold like icicles
Up in the endless skies
While the wind was blowing
Invisible spirits around her
Wait!.. Then nothing
Quite darkness closes in
But still welcoming
Warm embrace of shadows
Cast by the moon itself
On the desert snow
When did you last see her
In all her glory
In the midnight hour
Ripening by 3am
And ready to leave you at 5
With a sweet kiss farewell
Of the first rays of twilight
