Her ethereal being floats shape changing
Undulates across, around beyond the horizon
No corporeal restraint on her
Laughter tinkling on the wind maybe?
Or have you conjured your own fears
To human form when something unknown bids you forth
And you tell yourself it’s nothing
She smiles as she moves to provoke attention
And gets it without effort
A shift here a flick there
You can breathe freely as light breaks through
And she rolls her shadowy back away from the sun
From other darkness shows
She will return remaining hidden until she is ready
To show you her command once more
You will enter her as she chooses the hook
With which she’ll snare you
Willingly you go to a possible end
Maybe pass through the mist as she swallows your being
To leave if she chooses your moment gone
And smiling whichever her decision
