Then the Moon Came

A whistling breath suddenly escaped from my cracked lips

When I turned back to see

That the stones of the temple I had just finished building

Were lying scattered under the mocking cold rays of the sun

I was still able to hear the faded laughter of the vile ones

Who were fleeing away, forgetting as they were running

That the palace they had crushed

Was equally precious to me as my own life

The work of a life

The passion of a quest

Denied

Destroyed

My eyes, that had seen the sparkle in the dark,

Were now beholding the remains

Of a fervour that had been sentenced to death

By the blindness of a race

As I collapsed, like those stones had just done

My betrayed face hit the frozen ground

Then the moon came and chased away the agitation of the light

Lying there, feeding from the coldness of the earth

My thoughts started to wander in an incarnate trance

Echoing from within but beholding the outside

Thus a dark seed started growing in my veins

Blackening my vital fluids and withering my feelings

From the ashes of my broken dream I will rise

And like wolf among sheep

Spread a deserved terror within the flock

Like wolf among sheep…

For suckled at the teat of motherly presence

I was fed with poison

I know what the instinct is

Like wolf among sheep...
