Saving Human

The night sky is dark
There is no sound but that of a lone leaf as it is blown down an empty road
Empty like the sky

No soul glimmers in the vast navy blanket
No sight of light can be seen
It appears all hope had been vanquished

A sallow faced man awaits in the darkness
He waits with a hunger
Keeping eyes and ears open for the sound of an ill fated creature

That will be his prey

His name is Death
And he has come
To finally claim what is his

Souls have fled
Light is gone
Tell me,
Where is hope?
