The Weeping Lady

The Weeping Lady

Saturated wench midst marsh and mire,
Creeps in solemn betwixt wreck and fire.
Weeping she walks amidst the moors alone,
Her body lay trapped, broken vessel and bone.

Her kindred mate and children both lost,
She roams the shadows counting her cost.
Incessant in rage and bewildered she cries,
All who cross paths, suffers her wrath and dies.

Entombed in the moment of dread and sorrow,
She cradles her loss, her heart asunder and hollow.
Tourists mourn and adorn with flowers,
Unaware of the stain of super natural powers.

Her shrill is but deafening, her pain is immense,
She ruptures the peace of nature with past tense.
All who cross paths with the lady in weep,
Fall a terrible loss, their fears run deep.
