Forever Falling

Once an angel,

bright and glowing.

walking slowly,

always flowing.

single steps

of grace and flight,

but soon came the darkness

of a fallen knight.

Of one glance,

the angle strode,

across an empty,

silent road,

Over to

the silent demon,

laughing slighty,

for no reason.

A devilsh trick

about to unfold,

She'd known life

and saw it there,

whisking briskly

in the air.

Her hair sought somber,

left untamed,

then, of course,

came the rain.

Slowly climbing

down on knees

she sought the arrow

he would need.

Movement close,

an arrow thrust,

blood was gushing

the color of rust.

and the brightness

turned to dusk,

an engrossing scent,

more than musk.

Falling farther

to the ground,

making nothing

of a sound.

An angel once,

of nature's calling.

Once an angel

now... forever falling.
