A Dark Cloud, Circles

A dark cloud, circles. An outcry from the land consumes the night air. Lips tremble, hands tremble. Bodies lay, sit aghast. An unexpected revelation. A dark cloud, circles. An outcry from the land consumes the night air. Silence runs miles as the news spread. Eyes flatter and fight back. Hearts fall, tears fail. Legs loose power. A dark cloud, circles. Lips tremble, hands tremble. Words left unsaid traverse through minds. Scattering about the air, leaving souls to wonder. Unquenchable thirst for understanding, Reeling from the beings that ponder. A dark cloud, circles. Bodies lay, sit aghast. Eyeing the other, without a word to utter. The land had made a decision without alter. Invisible horrors spread through the land. Monitoring. A dark cloud, circles. An unexpected revelation. A womb steers inside a woman. Confusion, pain steers inside a man’s pride. Sympathy, gratitude steers inside the kinsmen. A sad symphony in the hearts of many. A dark cloud, circles.
