A Failing Poison
Let the laws and rules of these vital few
Be that of a sunrise in it’s love blue hew
If the dying words of earth have not touched you
Then walk to the north and pray it finds you
The guidance of a mare and her newborn colt
Match only the teachings of the bitter cold
And while this creature, whose death is long lost
Travels again in darkness, casting
fortune for a cost
A single rose may hold evil with a vine
But this self-casting shadow, drinks souls like sweet wine
Alas, white light, pouring down through these trees
Liberate these vital few, by replacing fear with wings
Let safety kiss them, reassure them, gift them useful things
And tonight, post-twilight, let love kill this darkened being
Tomorrow is a running beast, whose mind is kind and swift
It has paced it’s strides, so to arrive, and bear it’s well kept gift
The vital few, stand up a-new, and know it’s up to them
To prove to evil and its poison, that this is not our end
