The Pit
Deep in the forest
Lies a pit, shrouded by night
The cries of wolves cannot reach it,
The rush of the river passes by without a glance
So it remains.
Solitary in of itself
With nowhere to turn, directionless
The pit sinks further into the Earth
A darker, more sinister place
Alone
So, very, alone
It wakes
The tremors of the Earth shake the core
I t w a k e s
Roaring, dark, and sludgy
It wakes
The cries reach all ears, grasping them by the throats
I t w a k e s
FIres erupt, chaos is on a rampage through the night
It wakes
It SCREAMS a blood curdling screech
I T W A K E S
Trees demolished, ferns burning, the carcasses scattered the dirt
NOTHING IS LEFT it tells the woods
ALL MINE ALL MINE A L L M I N E
And the pit stands over the destruction it caused,
Feeling
Alone.
It falls asleep again, restless and empty.
