Night falls

Shadows bloom

Rise slow

Dance in the hillside

Shifting earth

Hums below

Outstretched arms

Drag through the water

Soft glow

Of eyes that shine

Dark cold

Shrouds all who wander

Obscured shapes

Draw near

Long black hair

Drags through the water

Hark!

Now comes the flood

Slow rain

Crushes the hillside

Pray they will

Rest well

See them all

Dragged by the water

Wild rose

Dog’s blood

Pray all

Rest well

Sll that once was

Is gone from here

Whispered laments

Fall on deaf ears

Washed clean of all

But memory

Swollen in death

And revery

Wild rose

Dog’s blood

Pray all

Rest well
