No baby's breath is softer than her footsteps in the night She comes to claim the conquered bodies fallen in the fight She lays them in forgotten graves that no man may discern And she decrees that from those graves no mortal may return Her children of the darkness usher forth to do her will To light the fire 'neath the bodies lying cold and still Then dance around the etheral pyre built upon the lawn And follow as their silent mother steals away at dawn And as she leads her children to their home within the night Her darkest fear is that she will be caught within the light And turning now to see the sunrise just below the hill She brings her children close to her to shake the morning chill Sing while you may -The Prophet Q'spel Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen -The Prophet Q'spel |

I read the title and thought this would be sweet. Not so. Definitely not sweet. But great imagery, even vampyrs care for their own. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- Cole |

Very chilling, and yet sweet in its own way. Interesting theme, done differently than usual. Great concept. Catalinamoon |

Thanks Cat, my mind works in odd ways sometimes. This is, primarily, an illustration of The Spirit of Loss, one of my pantheon of spirits that appear in my faery tales. She embodies forgetfullness and futility. Here especially, the futility of war. Just thought I'd let you in on the inspiration. Sorry about the suprise Kethry. Thank you all for your kind words. Sing while you may -The Prophet Q'spel Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen -The Prophet Q'spel |
