Silhouette

One night amidst the stars,

Saw something bizarre

Tried to decipher what it was,

But the efforts made led to a pause.

Strived to omit it from my mind 

But nothing about it felt right.

Had vivid evocations of stillness, 

Irony being the clock ticking by, 

Clues all round that didn't hit 

Like pieces of a puzzle that just didn't fit.

Days gone by, but not the memory,

Felt like an unravelling story. 

Who knows if I had hit the bull's eye, 

Or maybe it was just another silhouette across the sky.
