They were lost together
Crossing lines others had forgotten
...
Do We Brave The Darkness?
They were lost together
Crossing lines others had forgotten
A gambit lost to wolves
A treachery most rotten
They heard it in the woods
Amongst the brambles, thickets and thorns
A noise indistinguishable
From war cries and taunts
In the air hung a haze
Of arsenic yellow and copper greens
Laced around the thick trunks
Strangling the evergreens
They shivered in their tent
Amongst the darkness, damp and danger
Afraid of ghouls and ghosts
And all the things stranger
“Do we brave the darkness? ”
Said the youngest boy with stifled cry
“We’ll have to leave the torch”
Was the oldest boy’s reply
The leaves trembled up high
The ground rumbled deep and low
The noise swallowed the air
“What of your torch’s glow? ”
Into the dark they plunged
Amongst the shadows, whispers and spies
To find your way through darkness
You must see through your own eyes
