Will Hereafter Come

Gradually, rays of sky dim 
A stark blanket wrapping the woodlands
Night...too cold
Each branch thinning across clayed earth
And I am wrought with blaming thoughts ..
Birds growling  my loneliness 
I search for lamplight's glint
Still the pain and angush return
A wound , an abrasion that diesn't heal 
Emptying 'me again
  where thoughts beg; 
will hereafter null this existence?
