Ballet For The Dead

Every night when the moon smiles down
Upon the earth
A little grackle and his master
They travelled across the plains.
Graves upon graves they danced and soared
As voices sung in the night sky
Of soothing lullabies
Of placid lamentations.
This they had come to call
The Ballet for The Dead
A touch of grace from the midnight Child
Sanctified by the moonlight’s kiss.
Round and around the dancer went
Whilst the little grackle circled in unison
From earth to sky
They took off into oblivion.

Although it's on quite a creepy topic, I find it really pretty. n__n It tells a story in so few words and has an effortless elegance to it like with all your other poems I've read. <3
