Of the Everlasting Night

And with a breath,
I let it bleed.
I did not stop to watch it flow,
Stain the walls with a gentle glow.

In it’s wake,
It left a crater.
With every corner and every fold,
It left a streak of silver and gold.

And as I waited for it to die,
I could not help but close my eyes.
Just for a second,
The world was dark.
And with it’s last good bye,
A wretched moan and a bittersweet cry,
The light left the world.
And we fell into the void.
Of
Everlasting
Night.
