Lateral

Lateral and careless save for seven shades of moonlight

That lingers long in the half light of this darkness and...
Sends the message to the corvine beast; darkness is coming
For not now one iota of hope is left of sacrifice unmeasured
That should comfort and hold the unlocked secrets of the day
Why did I linger so long on these desolate northern shores?
When all the ships have left carrying my heart with the tide
