This is the Gotterdammerung,
the day of evil will
on which there's no escaping from
the place where sun stands still.
Life itself is in the balance
on which the devil puts his thumb
and smiles unto the hellish cadence
that makes the brave go numb.
Prayer is what is needed now
but dies on drying tongue,
leaving but the question: how
to dodge as spears are flung.
First the twilight, then the night,
and then the dawn, the pure Son-light.
Thanks to Carol Ashby, Blessed Are The Pure Of Heart is back on Kindle, and will be available in paperback soon.
Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
