So, it is already day number three of NaPoWriMo. Here is my piece for today:
They ran by black moonlight lit
Pulses raising grim barriers to catch
To drag back with clasping fingers
Ice rending into hearts as minds
Shimmered with faithful fear
As the heretic certainty wed luck
And the air was wiped with warmth
To unseal gray passages with
Salt-based keys of sorrow
Which made all things slow
As gentle breeze caressed flesh
And sprouting content shattered
Those distantly laid boundaries
The floods arrived within minutes
Yet fear gave not a word
For we have seen darker waters
Than this cascading purity
Which did baptise us with nobility
Until God and man laughed together
Makers mingled with the made
Could they forget such joy
Whilst hearts hammered hollow
Or should they even try
To cling to the memories of all before
Whose blood and bones burnt
In unholy fires
Sacrifices given to instil joy
Such loss stained us all forever
Brought us low and sliced
The deep recesses of pride
Until we steadied our unruliness
Drew breath and remembered how to smile
Courage pounced on us
We were claimed by the greater
Peace is the enemy of war
But it was conflict alone
Who was the sire to any
Ghost of tranquillity
So wings were spread in the blooming night
As the endings were penned
By the timid voices behind us
And we let ourselves surrender
For the sake of ascension
I hope you enjoyed it!
