With death these mortal eyes shall seal,
And that will still my throbbing heart,
Future generations might know,
And they will share in what tore me apart.

She opened a path for her fury,
She would not spare them this day,
She was now judge and jury,
For their lack of thoughtfulness, their sins, they would pay.

I lay among the dead,
Like the slain that sleep in the ground,
Who are they? That they can live and not see Death?
The death that is all around?

I felt like an owl in the wilderness,
Like a screech owl among the burnt out lands,
My heart declines,
And lay shattered amongst the sand.

Give me a rest from this my misery,
'Til a pit is dug for the lonely and sad,
They will all go there eventually,
Their deaths reflecting the life they had.

For I will open my mouth in a parable,
And expound the mysteries of my past,
But will anyone even listen?
As those few mourners file past?

Future generations must know,
I withered away like grass,
For there was so much they didn't care to know,
My heart was not merely glass.

Sing they do, Isis, and mightily.

This is some really beautiful work.

I think it went very well my friend. I can not write dark, I always have to have that light shining through. I think it is because I need that hope in my life or I will just wither up. Great job my sister.

Wow, Isis,
I was gone two day and what a surprize to come back two. Excellent work here. You look good in Darkness. I hope you will see fit to stay awhile. Welcome, indeed.
