The Destroyer of Worlds

Winter Sunset

The destroyer of worlds does not come on dark clouds

With lightning flashes and thunderous din

She does not come uninvited upon the raging wind

 

Her visage is not dark nor twisted

Her eyes do not burn with shimmering flames of hate.

 

Doors are not barred against her

Ramparts are not erected.

Her coming is not resisted

 

She comes upon a gentle breeze.

Laughter drifting through the trees.

Her beauty beyond compare,

her eyes gleaming as if filled with the joys of life.

The summer sun caresses her soft skin

 

Her honeyed words pure delight.

She comes bathed in light with promises of paradise.

She does not use force nor might

 

Woe to those that are not vigilant

Against promises of earth bound heavenly delights

Too late will you realise your fate

Too late will you despair

At the horror of the price of an easy life

 

All you sacrificed will be in vain

All to avoid the burdens of a fulfilling life
