A Dark Cloud Arises - Purtenance

World’s one mind

The mind apart from thousands

The hunger of sorrow

And another’s accident

A black thought soars

Slays futile joy

A dark cloud arises

And sinks you into blue smoke

Confusion

A despair…

As a shadow, dark island

And forest, it whispers

Be awake… death’s a dream!

The child of the infinite frost

The frozen hands of the pine

Calls you to save

To its icy arms
