No Life Here

by bertie-bug box - Cancer

The wind blows bumptiously through
 these icey peeks.
Nature...she whistles through her
 teeth.
Dark trees moan as they try to grasp
 the air that stirs them.
Others hold up their silvery
 palms as if to say:'So what?'
The CRACK! of a tree, drowning somewhere
over there in the dim moave sea of moonlight;
 unheard, brushed aside,
forgotten in a hushhh.
Like a white ice-axe, the moon climbs
 steadily up a dark peak there.
The stars blink in wonder as it launches
 into space. Takes a billion blinks.
Soon...an old wind above drags over the
 stray grey ghost of a tidal wave: makes
blacker the land and rains like ink.

SHHH! Listen! Somewhere down there, in this 
 new darkness, the lake calls for silence as 
it rises...
 

Reason for writing:

    A dream
