PALE HORSEMAN OF THE NIGHT

PALE HORSEMAN OF THE NIGHT

A Poem by Dark Priestess
"

Thoughts on Death............

"

Macabre forbidden profile

The rider on the pale horse comes

Ominous threat in the dawn of mankind

Reaping human lives………

 

Great Prince, come not near

Let us not die just yet

Let us live our imperfect lives

Forever seeking that which purifies

Amidst chaotic reign

 

Each second of every day

Is weighed carefully….

Each minute seems but the last one left

Before the trumpet calls

And the pale rider stakes his claim

 

There's an eclipse of the sun

And no light left

The moon is a ball of blood

The birds have fled, the night is still

And the clock ticks…….

Ominously

 

On the horizon is a black-clad horseman

And the distance closes in

As day after day and night after night

We wait……

 

For the robber of our dreams

The assassin of life

For the prince of darkness

And foe of all creation

And through it all…. We wait…..

For the toll of the bell

As the clock ticks……….

Ominously
