The Entity

The Entity

A door hung open, a draft blown in.
The creeks of the chair,
the crackles of the flames,
dampens the bliss-less silence within.
sparks fly, fire erupts,
the watcher's stare still remains frozen stuck.

Fingers long hardened, lay curled at rest.
Droughty eyes, gazed endlessly into a searing blaze.
A visage of fear incarnate looked on,
like time did once upon his life.

An eerie smile grinned eternally across his face.
Pain: numbed his heart cold, driven his mind insane.
But sealed an eternal smile upon his face.
The suffering that wrought the end of countless others,
brought him nothing but the unsettling sense of security.
Betrayed by fate it self, reason dictates none he must trust.
Tainted his past was, he looks beyond to a darker future.

Having lived through years of cold and harsh winters,
and thundering showers of rain.
A last storm now knocks upon his gates.
As hope begins to dwindle, the mist begins to disappear.
In a moment frozen in time, it all becomes clear,
for the hailed one, must live to see...

...to see it hail at the end.
