It comes as a whisper A breath of sheer torment that fills the dreamy fluids of thought captivates them to its weary song and drifts far along the banks of comprehension Till ravished fully It dies a thousand deaths and echoes its shuddering form outward Into the final vision, the last fringe. To bare its self to the nights slow creep that delusional hope Fast, drawn upon the whimpered prayer That final gasp Life ebbs slowly and finely away Into the pits of dark shadowlands where only the nights howl gathers And death smirks upon the torn veil.
