Without a name, without a face, without a soul
Vapid staring at nothing at all
I am every indeterminate color
I am every intuition
Slow and aimless I wander
Past all the good things
All the little people in their busy little lives
There is nothing sharp
For I feel only vaguely
There is no loneliness
I walk into your house and watch you
I breathe on your cheek
And rock you to sleep
Come to my world
I beckon you in the dark
Dream
Let me play with your soul for a while
Then let me go
And I will pass again into the shadow
Of your forgetting me
And wander unnoticed my way
As dawn greys the sky
I will not explain anything about this poem because, honestly...I don't understand it any better than you do. This is one of those things that seems to flow out of you without really being directed by you. So you don't have to look it up: "gloaming" means "twilight".
