    halt, the sky sings in seraphic tones,
    the clouds roar as they race to part in unholy droves -
    like the breaching masses of old-world seas,
    on the quaking earth, the shores tremble and seize -
    the trees collapse inward and cave to forest floors,
    left to rot and crumble now and forevermore -
    man steals fire, escapes the cave,
    angels pick man off in one winged clave -
    man's lowly ashes will drift to the earth
    as the gods above die and new ones are birthed -
    and as centuries pass with storms and with fire,
    man will return to consequences dire -
    they'll turn to be angels as angels turn to be gods,
    and gods they will be against all the odds -
    though slow and sure, the world will keep turning
    as heaven reigns hellish, and angels keep burning.
Wow, it's been a while. I'd say I've been busy, but it's both true and not - school and stress have culminated into a nasty writer's block for months now, and for that I apologize. Hopefully this serves as some sort of apology on it's own. Sorry for the unexpected hiatus!
