Today the cold cut through my coat/the wind chill was almost devastating/winter asserting its presence/a threatening presence of days growing shorter/winter solstice like the menace of endless night/no wonder we built stonehenge watch towers to monitor the delinquent sun/no wonder torches filled the air with a flicker of hope against an immense darkness/no wonder we found despair in the lessening light as earth's shadow enveloped us in superstition and ignorance/no wonder we wept for the death of the day that might never be restored/we watched and waited in awe as the sun froze on the distant horizon before slipping into oblivion...
Alone in an unforgiving universe/the perpetual emptiness of night engulfs the day and tumbles into the blackholes swirling to devour all light/the crushing darkness beckoning like a demonic maelstrom/ collapsing upon itself so that the light surrenders to such density that nothing can escape/all disappears unto the deepness of the darkness/the sun pauses in a final moment/a blinding blush before relinquishing its hold and disappearing behind the curve of the approaching night...
