The Season Ends.

By TheProphetUntold


+--+

In winter, once.

On winds I heard, in chord of strings,
the call of birds, and songs they sing.
A thought absurd, in leave of spring,
still I've pondered of stranger things.


Suddenly then, grave wounds opened,
as s.words gave rend to my heavens.

"Cursed demon! Winter's lament!
Why have you sent such vile intent,
be your contempt without relent!
Will all mend when seasons end?"


All at once.


In just moments, pages descend,
endless thousands, paper ravens.

Solely barren except written...

Once, then again, in blackest pen.



"It never ends... It never ends..."

Paraphrasing Al Pacino in Three from memory there, so that's probably not how the orginal lines go...much better comment coming with all possible postehaste. This hit me hard & gave me a charge all at once....a-fucking-men that blackest pen....need to go pace around a bit for now.....
