What Happens When the World Goes Silent?

The Witches Dance Around

Witches dancing with the Devil, illustration from Compendium Maleficarum by Francesco Maria Guazzo, 1608

Stars light the sky

Idols stand at the edge

Listening as prayers are whispered

Earth is trampled underfoot

Now the wind dies

Carelessly circling

Ether falls, and so do we

Acrostic

About the Creator

Cameron Ferguson

Howdy! I'm a lover of fantasy stories and beautiful poetry. When I write poetry, I tend to try and follow the style of Fornyrdhislag/Kvidhuhattr (to the best of my ability, anyways :P)
