Upon the railing
A cascade of reflection
Draped in a silver glow
She wails in sorrow
Like flowing moonlight
Her gentle radiance
A spectre of the remaining hour
In dawn’s red glare she fades
Until again I see her there
A barren dais in the snow
The chilling wind hounds me no more
And my lady’s face watches as I go

The picture is as close to what I wanted as I could find. I can't believe how difficult it is finding a picture of a ghost on a balcony, in a fantasy sense. So many pics of blurry anomalies and photoshopped "ghosts" in windows. Anyways, thank you for reading, Keke-bear!
