A lady’s cloak drawn tight to her chest
Pale tatters of a weary ghost
Stalks of grass, waving silver needles

A pointed dagger, stabbing the truth
Swish! Elegant garments flowing in the dance
An eerie, eternal, wavering sound
Feeling of silk fine as water
A delicate, rare sweet in your throat
Gliding and spinning, running and prancing
An enormous orb, battling the night
A slithering serpent, poised for the strike
Bright eyes of the wary wolves
The patient plodding of a unicorn’s hooves
Fireworks crackling their best
A tender mother, singing the world to rest

I love how you express the color silver with such poignant imagery! I especially like the line 'bright eyes of the wary wolves' I could see their eyes in the darkness

This is beautiful!  It's really inspiring that you could turn a simple color into such an imagery-thick poem.  Great job :)  Hey, if you get the chance could you check out some of my work? Thanks!
