Sinking

Gothic trees and dead gray sky.
Rain drifting soft
Sneaking to the soul,
Numbing pain within.

Bitter tears of change
Hope's obscurred by fog;
Crowding, creeping shroud
Dragging the salt down.

Zephyris and my Sol;
Stilted heralds
Drowned.
Dawn seems lost forever.

Deadened by the rain.
Alone in desperate dark,
Sinking in the mud.
No rope, no lifeline.
Sinking,
Sinking...
Sinking.
