Wind howls warning on the cusp of a ****** storm Whispers of deep rumblings pass through the atmosphere like a shadowy phantom Gnarled thoughts plague the conscience of the guilty The stormy waves crash into a charcoal cliff, spraying silver foam of rebirth A woman utters confessions to the unresponsive moon Depthless eyes of the hunter track its innocent prey A small child sings of a world far away Someone wakes up screaming, their reality breaking like a sledgehammer through a windshield Clothes torn on the floor, bodies entwining, trying to purge themselves of the monsters inside their souls Passion blazes a wildfire, burning everything in its wake until it is snuffed The storm comes, a roaring lion, attacking with vicious claws and hungry jaws Death waits, arms open, to collect souls into its shrouded cloak Temptations fly overhead like birds, settling in the nests that the foolish build for them The storm ceases, the only sign the wreckage people drown in But then the silent wind once again howls her warning, to those who bother to listen
