Bridge of Emptiness
At the bridge of emptiness
Heavenly gallows stood watch
At humanity’s travails
As suffer-woods blaze in the furnace of toils
Ashes of desperation scatter
Forming thick mist of pain
Hovering over all mankind
Scarring all, till it becomes her skin
The bridge of emptiness stretches on
With nowhere to seek refuge
Only echoes of haunting filled the air
Shrouding the void in enigmatic allure
Throes of previous life rendered naught
The Longing for peace,a dying ember
pierced through by shadows of despair
Dashing hopes etched on Tomorrow’s mane
At the bridge of emptiness
Anguish holds her sway
Till the Night lost her eyes
Awaiting humanity’s judgement day
