The wind blows
gushing through
the night,
like an endless
stream,
rupturing all it finds
in it\'s sight.
The blood pale moon
shivers with fright,
clinging to the heavens
it once lit so bright.
The silver trees,
sparkling with their
diamond jewel of ice,
send a note of tingling
bells ringing through
the night.
The restless souls
whisper their prayers
to the heavens around,
no sleep for the helpless,
no pity for their pain.
On the dark streets
of men they walk in
disarray,
hoping to find shelter
to end this god forsaken day.
As they walk,
as if on air,
they call out names
of mercy and despair.
No staff to carry,
no proof of will,
searching for tomorrow
as they die a bit each day.
Wrapped in a shroud
of darkness,
they attend to the rising sun,
to disperse the clouds
of grief and to live
in a forever tomorrow
and forget that yesterday
has ever come.
