Stark and gloomy souls
shiver in the chill astral wind
Silver spatial clouds
soar expansively, surround
while aimless islands of sanity
serenely drift with whim.
Laughing gods croak
their tongues are old--
bent double, they lie to soar:
sallow tales of elder deeds
broken promises
forgotten pleas ...
Musical chords resound the space
silent minds, abated hate.
Tales of woe long suppressed
echo across the astral wastes,
dying sounds with no place.
Malleable madness,
homeless groans.
All around the silvery clouds
drowned minds float, lost
and lurking.
"Heartstone" is the next poem.
