Cloud Shroud

Cloud shroud hovers in down swirling air,
Red swarm hissing and kissing the sun,
River flood innocent choking despair,
Some crying justice, three being one;

Black tree drip darkens blood turning pale,
Dancing spirit and substance depart,
Currents enticing of tormenting gale,
Eyes pleading answer, stone beating heart;

Time stops violently earth shaking light,
Tall cliffs crumble exposing their end,
Hope dawn fog in song absolute white;
Holy true suffer, truth to defend.
