lost souls
#WhispersOfTheWind
looking out the window,
on a starless night.
looking on the sleeping world,
while time ticks on apace.

I heard the wind whistles by,
turning up things on its tail,
whispering, telling tales,
whilst trees bend to let it pass.

a tale of two horses,
running in the darkness,
one with horns on its forehead,
the other with fire in its eyes.

a tale of fire worshippers,
dancing round their fiery altar,
and offering a sanguinary sacrifice,
to their vengeful, bitter god.

a tale of two beings,
watery Poseidon and fiery Hades,
eternally joined by one umblical cord,
each a torment upon the other.

a tale of lost souls,
eternal wanderers,
scampering about like lost sheep,
spreading sorrow in their wake.

I felt the wind pass by,
shaking my window shutters with it's breath,
whispering, bearing tales,
whilst the trees bend to let it pass.
