The circle,
Crimson hooded,
Black robed wickens of sorts.
Dancing around the dead,
Salivating in anticipation,
A feast of flesh and bones.
No ill will did they harbor,
Nor wish for victims demise;
Fate granted them favor.
Not at Satan’s command,
This is their nature.
Despised by the living
As a filthy wretched horde,
Outcasts of nature
Though their purpose is divine.
They are mocked and ridiculed,
Loathed and feared,
Still they offer back to the earth
What the earth has taken.
The vulture’s cry–
A lonesome song.
Treated as lepers of the sky,
Precious are they…
In the natural chain.

Lots of love
Thank you Patty, I so appreciate it. :)
Reblogged this on huntprayerpoems.
Thank you very much for re-blogging my poem, that was very kind of you to do. :)
It is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure. :)
This was great. I was trying to figure out the imagery all the way through, then I got to end. Then I thought “Oh now it makes sense.”
I’m glad, that was what I was trying to accomplish so I guess it worked. Thank you very much Peter.
