Across the Shadows, Athwart the Dark
While we all fallen, asleep
words collasped, howling and weep
Minutes losing, to the night
so glory, even shadows are divine.
The shadows of the dying moon
Reminiscing, the time of Rune,
too close, too soon.
The fire of the dying sun
Sing the song that be unsung.
The life of a dying man
Often regret and reject
of time unwisely spend.
Across the shadows, athwart the dark.
Last thing I saw, was the hope in your birthmark.
Against the stream, into the woods.
Owls hooting, trees whispering,
lasting like they should.
At the gate of sleep, one last time
Hear the weep, like bells chime.
Harrowing years come and gone, beware.
The fall of new beginning,
happens from those who never care.
