Hollow Clearing

A hollow, showering light throughout itself Breaking apart the scene shows how it’s gone down Broken the life of the clearing not yourself Eerie the time of the night delves like a gown A shroud appears from the depths of the darkness There’s nothing that fire can hold or sure harness Calmness it is not, blanket of noise exists Screaming the spot caresses, I’m clenching fists

a bit of a nerve wracking meeting, get back in the house to the central heating, or dance with the shroud tonight:) it might be friendly, try a greeting? with Russells shroud delight...
