Symbols of autumn
The pines are gently swaying
Slow falling needles
Seeking penance for
The ice of the warrior
One apology
Fall becomes winter
Light dies before snow and frost
Much sorrow is felt
Bright eyes in the trees
Suddenly, they are fire
Without sound, falling claws
Tendrils of the wood
Spurring onward, onward
Bitter taste of fur
They cry where they lay
Broken, abused, and shattered
Voices unblaming
Enveloping warmth
Fire raging at the moon
Broken bones, they bleed
The dominance
Of the better fighter is
Unquestioned, unsure
Sure as the tide comes
Blood covers stone covers shield
It lays abandoned
Blue eyes, cruel and pale
Shame and fear mate and become
Sorrowful vengeance
