The Arrow

...and darkness fell.
The birds nested in silence.
The people retired their day.
The wind never stirred.
The moon never rose.
All was dark.
The sea laid still.
Calmness overtook.
Nothing became everything,
and Love shattered my all,
laying scattered within.
        Rage descended,
        and
        Death dove 
        down
        as swift
        and sharp
        as the Arrow
        for the Kill!
...and darkness fell.
