The Coming
by Ela Lourenco
Unseen for many a moon
It is upon us once again
Fog, mist… it has many names
Yet none know what it truly is.
No warning, no way to predict
Its foreboding coming
Even the sun runs away terrified
Of this looming, descending beast
Of dank grey cloud of death
Suspending the world between night and day
As it rampages its way across the land
Devouring all the souls in its path
We run, we hide and bide our time
Knowing that eventually we too will die…

A great poem, very eerie.
beautifully bleak – just like the prompt itself.
