Past the murk green veil

 

My temple has fallen,

such is the misuse of youth and a lack of understanding,

bare are the hills for roaming and to all who will gaze, bloated is land beneath.

None stand before it, to worship or herald belief, it is cold.

Time has not forgotten and faith has slipped away

like the clouds that shape themselves in the night

then go.

Yet beyond the murky green, still, lies the child

wishing his life away unto the star.

No one will hear his voice echo throughout the confines

of this misbegotten church,

be silent now, but for a moment,

but for a life time.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hush now, what is it you seek?

arms full of laughter, a smile so meek.

stand strong and be resolute with this,

when you have finally finshed, you will not be missed.

March on this race is lost

but you will finish this war at all cost.
