The Dark Wizard


The Dark Wizard has cast his spell
screams from the caves of the far mountains
Fireballs from hell
shoot at the innocent, the Devil’s dance

The souls of the lost travel west
in hope of finding peace and salvation
a warm receiving chest
to keep them from damnation

But forever lost
for fighting for no reason
the only way for them to rest
is known, in our world, as treason

That path they have to follow
and at the end they know at once
that tomorrow –
They’re remembered by their loved ones

  1. the third stanza is particularly poignant as we tend to fall right in with your declaration fighting for no reason....vivid imagery...nice one shot.
