Absent Twilight

Winds chill as water chimes
Along an errant path in winter's time
My last abide unblessed
I am a sunrise of opened flesh

Repellent horrors I now behold
As the beginning of death unfolds
Overwhelmed with the transience
Of drifting between sorrow and death

Visions of clouds shaped of writhing flesh
Mocking the terror I express

Gleaming from the sunlight they veil
As their death-bestowed limbs flail

Awakened in absent twilight
Where visions and thoughts unite
No longer a slave to earthly pride
Unspoken truth my eternal bride

Purged of dying
I drift on silent wings

Like a forgotten remembrance
I am one with the absence.
