a dream


heavy rain splatters like blood

wind rips through the trees

bitter cold seeps into your bones

someone gets up off their knees


the church pews are all rotten

old white birch filled with decay

silent prayers long forgotten

a sinking feeling of dismay


one lone candle, brightly burning

the moon nowhere to be found

either a blessing or a warning

of creatures hiding all around


just as you reach the light

darkness trailing from behind

the flame flickers out of sight

as you've finally lost your mind
