There's a face
Beneath the outer case
Within a mirrored space
Inside a place
Enshrouding
A most...
Fetching
Face

There's the familiarity
Moments of clarity
A certain amount of certainty
The way things were
The way they will be
And surprisingly
It has surprised me
The stillness
The preternatural calm
The large mesmeric eyes within the storm
The almost palpable
Ferocity
The artic hostility
It has surprised me
Surprisingly
The way things are naturally

In the blazing light of day
The blackened clouds
Crash and swirl
By the golden rays of noon
The comforting darkness
Of a nearby world

Beneath the outer case
Within a mirrored space
Inside a place
Stands a quite
“Fetching”
Face

I am awfully pleased
