Symbol of demise 8 September 2021
Ire burnt in hearts while the Scots paved a free road Return to glory The lights flashed on her Like a mural painted white she emerged from night The wizards combined potions for resurrection counting dead eyes’ beat Midnight’s toll rang still heavy doors creaked sullenly lanterns hissed their glare Glint in pupils lost bedtime struck at eventide dark everlasting November skies bled a flag flying at half mast symbol of demise Reading of the poem:

Mystical mystery

Good to hear that you are well. I am slowly making the rounds of your writing and it is as always so interesting.

Excellent poem.
I love the mists of history and dark mystical atmosphere it conveys. ❤
Thank you for reading and commenting ❤. I find the dark enticing more than foreboding
