Shadowed Ravens Watch

a procession

shadowed ravens watch 
depressive day turns
the winds bring Frost 

Skelton branches clutch 

Ghosts dance after the fall 
The procession crawls 
To the point of vanishing 
Oblong boxes of onyx inlaid 

Crimson glowing deep within 
Secret Furies fly in frightening 
Nightmares flank the regal divinities 

WRAITHs of mourners drift 
White wispy lost memory 
Cast in time back to the precipice
The dark procession reflecting
In Raven's soulless eyes

Spin under a clouded sky 
The color of the dead 
Mourn the passing of gods 
Humanity dips into the Misty void 
Full of creation loss

Deep secrets live buried
Within oblong boxes 
Of Ebony and Crimson 
As amber burn

Ravens clutch skeletal branches 
Their black eyes witness
The serpents procession 
Under these lead-gray skies

The cumulus just holding his breath 
waiting to break has nightmares 

as their vanities pass by...
