Darkening days are upon us.
The sky is a grimacing ghoul.
These changes are based on a promise;
The summer's diminishing rule.

The trees are pockmarked with browning.
The fruitful are falling away.
An earthly transition is dawning,
The curse is now on display.

The Ice Queen comes with a vengeance
to remove all peace from the earth
her lovers are in rapt attendance
believing the beast gives them worth.

But the keys are still with the keepers.
The salt and the light still preserve.
Safeguarding truth for the peoples
Parousia, all will observe.
