Fugitive

You are the shooting star
That pales the Pleiades.
You are the frost
That fires the autumn trees.
You are the sunset
Upon cloud-lost peaks.
You are the silence
Music seeks.
You are the wind-winged dream
I waken to and banish.
You are the hands that beckon me,
And beckoning, vanish.
Across the grass
Yours are the white veils
Of obliterating snow... .
You are everyone I pass,
And no one that I know.
