Storm
Fractures of lightning
Illuminate the downpour
Before the thunder
Fractures of lightning
Illuminate the downpour
Before the thunder
Winter’s minion howls
It’s frigid moonlight keening
Rends the mind and soul
Midnight’s lustrous moon
Bears witness to the promise
Of the newborn year.
His smile hangs askew,
while unseen tribulations
rent rifts in his soul.
Seeping like a stain
Across the fabric of time.
I am the darkness.
