By Moira Nelson

Moira Nelson
My lord, impious, perhaps arrogant,
is banished to the Shadowlands for unintended slight.

Good morrow love
How pale and cold you lie.
You greet me now with hollow eyes and melancholy smile
I beg thee, stay a while . . . a while . . .
A while?
Forever and a day!

But you are gone so far away
And I must walk in empty marble halls,
My footsteps soft and slow and wandering.
My tears are bright upon the stones I tread,
A prisoner of half-remembered dreams.
