The Ark Raging embers churn within Clammy umber turns my skin. What will come the end of dark? Who will save what lives this ark? When will reason shine again The dying green within the glen A pawl of madness rocks the way Blocking out our futures day Casting shadows ghostly maul Haunting all the echoes call Hatred like an impulse wave Feeds upon the fires grave. Blackened brims each circles rim. Burning out the slim to grim. And each dying embers out One by one in tears of doubt Falling thru abysses night Imploding in the abscess right. |

An extremely vivid stanza: Blackened brims each circles rim. Burning out the slim to grim. And each dying embers out One by one in tears of doubt Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

An Ark is a pretty darned good plan, methinks... Maybe a Passions Ark... I enjoyed this morning treat, Sweet Sy.. |
