The White
Lady
Softly, vengeance comes
with gossamer veils misting
behind, riding upon
the night wind
She bears upon her
long, white train, a
candle for each soul
collected, lost
forgotten
In her hands, outstretched,
steel bared drips
one crimson drop
that, unrelenting
Feeds the Earth,
renews it with the
lifeblood of the slain
brought to silence
extinguished
