Elephant darkness

Silently, she writes

last notes

in her day.

Her pen was marked

golden and diamonds

are not there,

because of jewels.

She tries to look up,

then, decides, it has no use.

The books danced

the letters, away,

it is faster

than the winds of all skies.

In the darkness,

she thinks,

gives that night

a peculiar special bright star.

In the white eye

of memory,

music plays

another tune,

endlessly she smiles.
