A Night With the Gods
A Night with the gods
With a shrill cry
piercing the moonless night
stilling the witless
freezing the fleeing shadows
enveloping midnight dreams
with fleeting glimpse
of fretting hopes
dissipating into the darkened night
The strange and the brave
exerting an ineffable aura
strutting their implacable will
rousing the heavens
subtly feeding on the blinking stars
unraveling murky visions
bundling the infallible truth
racking the oracle with doubts
