TEMPTATION
the silence covered the forest
once more
allowing the deer to fall asleep,
the grace of nature wounded the hunter;
tempted, yet charmed,
his bitten soul
laid aside the bow,
the bleeding soil
swallowed up the arrow,
lost to the earth
that whispered of life and death,
the weeping moon cast its gentle glow,
vigilantly
watching over them both
for eternity
once more

laid aside the bow,
the bleeding soil
swallowed up the arrow,

that whispered of life and death,
the weeping moon cast its gentle glow,
vigilantly
watching over them both
