The Sibyl of the Lake

by NightFlyer   Oct 22, 2010


At the gates of gloom,
By the shores of midnight waters
She waits, radiant beauty of ancient dreams
A delicate apparition of the misty night
The sibyl of the lake,
Watching through vaporous rings of haunted forests
She gazes across the waters adamantine
in the pearly glow of a ghostly moon
Scanning the black expanse of astral forests
and the cloudy legions that gather above
Emblazoned across the starry night
Her sibyl eye staring across these still waters,
to the Pleiades rising.

    Thank you, Ingrid! Glad you liked my poem. When I started this one,I really felt and saw the sibyl in my mind's eye, it was a vivid impression, as I stared out across the tropical lake.

    This is a magical verse, Randy.

    Somehow it captured the feel of movies like The lord of the rings and Harry Potter ( I am a great fan of such movies!)

    It is a pity you cannot add pictures here, a beautiful painting in dark shades of blue with a white lady hovering over the lake would be such a great addition:)

    I wish I could still add favorites, but that funcion does not work anymore, for some obscure reason.

    Very well done, as beautiful as your avatar:)

    And congrats on your # 100 poem!

    5/5 Ingrid

    Thanks Hellon, I took your excellent suggestions. Glad you liked my poem. This sibyl was a vivid impression I got while staring across a lake late at night.

    Hi, Sylvia. I was thinking of the constellation. This was a poem I began last year after gazing out across a lake at night in Florida.
