Soft as thistle-down the hour
Like a bitty butterfly
Like the petal of a flower
Like the tremor of a sigh
Like the flicker of a candle
Like the shiver of a breeze
Tips its teeny hat, unravels
Leaving only memories
Soft as silver mist the twilight
Gathers to its phantom fold
Frameworks filled with almost-midnight
Caskets filled with gray and gold
Where the dark is like an ocean
Slowly rolling toward shore
Until intangible motion
Swallows up what is no more
