Maid in Black
She walks alone, the twilight hours
when earth and sky are one,
between the headstones and the flowers,
hid from the dreaded sun.
Naught bestirs, no sound disturbs
nor yet a shadow falls,
before this maid, with soundless words,
her one true lover calls.
But he has fallen long ago
in bygone fields of war,
a hundred years she’s trod this path,
mayhap, a hundred more.

Wow!
I like this though it's somber righr from the title, or maybe that's exactly why I like it.
I bet sir Wesley will like the little tale there.
Thank you for sharing Mr. Logan.

I am generally a happy chappy
as reflected in my usual output but variety is the spice of life.

so far, so good...It feels
so far, so good...It feels like the exposition to a longer piece. I would welcome more ...a tragic Edwardian love story. You seem to have an affinity for that era's style of language, as I hear it.
once again, another well crafted piece, a pleasure to read
regards,
Al

I take your point
but am not (at the moment) inclined to venture upon that road, maybe some future date will see me inspired to take this farther.
