Epic Sighting

Epic Sighting

Above the mountainous jagged peaks
Demonic clouds drift over its plain 
a hamlet of spires set in front of 
A tall black monolithic structure
Encompassing it for protection
And to quell intrusion from the forces
Should any harm befall it pray not
As a  mother would in times of need
But the dire scene is softened by 
the ambience of pink that awaits 
to overtake the passing darkness
and blending with the golden hamlet
That sets on the precipice of light
Endears the brightness ending night
