Hush of Night Awakens
i remember that last kiss
cold like the air tonight
the wind carries
a wolf's cry
in the distance
i sit here
and watch the shadows
as they dance
beneath the somber song
the moon, full-bellied
tucks itself behind the clouds
as the stars lose their twinkle
like eyes, gone from life
nightide has settled in
yet its not calm
this winter night
my mind twists
and snaps
like the branches
on trees
half-bare
outside
in the distance
i hear the cries
of wolf's prey
and the echoes
of your's
and mine
alike
i drift off
deep, away from thought
for a few hours of sleep
trying to regain warmth
outside
fresh snow
covers your grave
and the wolf's prey
only the sky bleeds now
but i remember that kiss
it was ...
as cold as this day.
