“A Hushed Moon Rise”

Teardrops of broken violet
restore to her the kingdom
decaying for a thousand and one
hushed crystal moon rises

restore to her the kingdom
once the dream of the blessed
hushed crystal moon rises
now cloak it in mist and sand

once the dream of the blessed
the fingers of blackness that crawled
now cloak it in mist and sand
and crush breath from memory

the fingers of blackness that crawled
tore her cloak and crown
and crushed breath from memory
leaving her atop grey walls

they tore her cloak and crown
restore to her the kingdom
she is left atop grey walls
a hushed crystal moon rises
