A Shot In The Dark

A shot in the dark - - - - - - - - - Bosom they were A fleet of five happy In a hotel flocked together To eat, drink and be merry At sundown- a fellowship so rare Elegantly seated on the courtyard A table beside where Game of cards They were playing With fun and pleasure Evening sky propelling Summer dreams Adding more jests and gleams And the stars Gently seizing the whole expanse And the ivory lady not yet ready To show her sweet countenance When came a call Be ready I am coming To take you to her land Where you can sight the moon With my presence on A ritual she was not to miss And she looked engrossed Distributing cards to fellow beings When she was seen stooping Unto the table low Still and unmoving With a bleeding head Frightened she was carried To a hospital only to be found dead Doctors had a version That stunned all with suspicion She was shot at-how and when None could lay eyes on The bullet that pierced her brain Unaware of the presentiment Conceded she to her beckon To be seen lulled in her nest Confused between earth and heaven Succumbed to her wishes at last Unpredictable I am always my dear Sorry to strike you at your leisure For I am born To obey only His order Lest my honesty suffer.........
