not me!
yes, it is me!
depths of gloom, or joy's gift
September roller coaster, still
it's me

it's me
ringing your bell
just returning from hell
dressed in red with my tail and horns
cunning!

cunning
scares me silly
efforts put to deceit
what satisfaction lives trumping
naive

winking
with just one eye
creating expression
and while focusing attention
we smile
However long the night, the dawn will break.

with deception
only fooling ourselves
avoiding the truth at all cost

lights out
creeping to bed
neighbor's music bouncing
across the lake, end of summer,
woohoo

crouching
great blue heron
lifts herself from the sea
flaps sweetly onto a tall piling
and shrugs

and shrugs
the sadness off
her shoulders watching it
as it rises slowly drifting
away

^^^beautiful, lagan, (the only other last line is your first thread) ;)
