Blood Wolf Moon

This poem was written after my observance of the Wolf Moon eclipse.

The angels have abandoned their light
Eclipsing the heavens into a cauldron of ebony
As the stars flare while attempting their escape
From the lifeless blackened blanket invalidating existence

The Blood Wolf Moon suspends itself
As if the orb on Satan's scepter had escaped
And found itself wedded to an invisible source
Of this monstrous and infinite abyss

This empyrean gift deeply burned
In the darkest and most hidden hole of Abaddon
From its firmament of torment
Of human suffering's endless plight

Under this cosmic Raven mass
From a distance so close, but far and closing fast
Impeding on the sensibility of consciousness
Thwarting the evasion of all reality

The silence was suddenly shattered as demonic toads croak
In incessant and escalating voices
Like the perilous screeching of rubber on asphalt
As they rejoiced in this perfect extinction

While all else lay silent

Wow, this is such an evocative write. I can immediately conjure up such powerful images of that almost painfully-black blanket being cast across the sky, obscuring the stars. Love the description of "cauldron of ebony" and "hidden hole of Abaddon." Excellent!! Regards, John.
