Dying Fable

By Trail of Fiends

Dark angels swinging
In the everlasting sway
It speared the clouds and turned them grey
It’s not raindrops anymore
Just little blots of taint in a dying fable
Of plastic trees and unadorned wolves
The porcelain doesn’t make the same sound when it breaks
The frail isn’t real with shells
They all come undone

Deaf fairies rest by their own spells
As the little creatures walk by the dry lake
To the sound of a dead opera
Interpreted by a broken rusted star
Sadly adored

And the mystery we all should seek to find
It’s the beauty we left behind to die

    awesome... it's really hard to comment on your writing as the words open my mind right up - thoughts visions scenes and sounds pour in and the ending leaves me mystified and awestruck... what can i say?
