The stars have abandonned us
By Alectozere
Night sky of a dark ink
Shining stars, stars which blink
Clouds floating, there goes the wind
Howling sound, furious whirlwind
Flashing lights in the dead of night
Twinkle, twinkle, share your light
Moon, halo of silver, halo of gold
Guide the travellers, save them from the cold
Twirling world, raging nature
How will it be in the future?
Fading sky in front of the eyes
The stars fade like a firefly dies
The way is lost, the wind has won
The clouds have blinded us, our guide is gone
Moon of silver, who has seen through time
Stars in the sky, witnesses of all crimes
Tell us, wanderers of the night
This darkness we are in, is this the end of our fight?
Is this how a journey ends?
Dying in the dark, wind killing our friends
The cold biting through our bones
Raging rain hitting us like stones
Screams unheard as everyone suffers
Falling on the uncaring ground, calling for their mothers

Bleak but beautiful, dark and lingering. I did enjoy reading this and all the imagery you painted was very gorgeous to see.
Your shadows spoke to me with the voice of angels fallen from heaven and ripped away from their wings too soon.
Thank you for sharing. -smiles-

You painted a really bleak landscape and asked some interesting questions throughout. The visuals you used I felt really worked well, I could feel myself shivering . That slow death despite the struggle. I can feel this as literal and metaphor and thought in both senses it resonated. Thank you for sharing :)
