Stygian Souls

Stygian Souls


As the sun sets in the west,
I watch the ominous clouds approach.
Their edges shine like pearls in the dusk.
The skies begin to threaten
the peace of the night,
and wipe out the charm of the stars.

In the descending gloom,
the wind blows
across my face,
sending a supernatural chill
down my spine.

I feel the stygian presence
of restless souls,
jealous of my freedom and light.

As the thunder rolls their anger,
the sky weeps
their petulant tears.

And I know I am not alone.
