A vague poem – but still quite nice! See if you can get the references!
Disclaimer – VH isn't mine. But the poem is. So if you try and steal it, I will set lose the ghosts of plotbunnies and muses upon you!
Falling
Life in death and death in life
Love and pain and hate and strife
Thankless years and weary eyes
Twilight's cloak across the skies.
OOOOOO
Hate is bitter, heart as pure
As the silent song is sure.
Tears unending, pouring fast
Backwards glimpse and die uncast.
OOOOOO
Love is grand, but so is pain -
Both conform the old refrain.
Hope in grief and violent dream
Nothing is as it may seem.
OOOOOO
Sorrow's laughter, pity's fall
As the shadow stretches tall
Men are brave, but fools are wise -
Watch the moon upon the rise.
