Silent Sentinels

Blankets of black rising,
Fighting the unfathomable pull.

Singing the hymn of the lost,
silent as night.

Circling beyond bleak smudges,
below uncharted depths.

Radiating in waves of onyx,
with the tender pull of winds misunderstood.

Reaching for the warmth of distant stars,
bound to upend their journey.

Usurping Odin’s spear,
outrunning Valkyries riding on thunder.

Plunging deep into the web,
Where the light of the dead shines bright.
