Demons Danced Above the Mountains

Demons Danced Above The Mountains

 

The poet whispered in a

candle lit room and his

words created visions in

the darkness of night,

 

The parting hours left

emptiness in the mouth of

loneliness. Bronze bells

pealed a cacophony of

shattered notes into the

sky, where demons

danced above the

mountains.
