black
wind through mind
soul
ebon chasm ringed in flame
burning
burning ash on the wind
dark cloud flowing
enveloping
covers all
save one
standing alone
wailing for him
wailing for her lost lover
so dark the coldness
so cold the darkness
small
miniscule even
slowly moving
undulating in the dark
wraithlike light
battles, wages war
dark cloud
blowing ash
burning chasm
fights for her right to Life
life alone
without reason, mind, love
her soul empty
empty life blown away
black wind
