Stormy Dream

Tendrils of wafting fog and mist,
Surround the landscape far and wide,
Set upon the statuesque pillars,
That make this scene their home.
With all the aplomb,
Of a seasick dove,
We delve into the shadows,
The shadows from love.

Obsession,
Rage,
Hope,
Hunger,
Among other things,
Utter Confusion.
The twisting lights,
Fall upon the pillars,
The pillars holding it up.

Bright,
Dark,
Grey,
No sense,
No rhyme,
No reason,
If only for the moment.
Left to crumble,
Into rubble,
This world shakes at its core,
The core of what can be.

***

The broken pillars lie in dust,
No longer holding the storm at bay,
A debt they owned,
A debt they paid.
Now it's free,
To cause havoc in the world,
The world that bore it,
The world that spurned it,
The world that's nothing,
Nothing we can see...
