Natural Selection
Moonlight spills upon this valley, this forest of undying life,
A true revision of natures raw form, within this evolving strife,
Shadowy leaves drift content and free, solemnly reflecting the warm gaze of the moon,
Sliding gracefully between numerous dark branches, darkness rides atop the wind in this forestry dune,
Whispers glide wistfully along wind driven lips, passed from a maze of the undergrowth's twisted storm,
Giant oaks twisted with arcane knowledge, radiate effervescent warnings of two in human form,
Hundreds of exotic shadows turn slowly toward the two, razor thorns appear encircling their bodies like saws,
Dimly glowing red, the moss illuminates the dark forest's floor. Shadowy limbs twist into mangled claws.
Boots step cautiously along the soft ground, The forest radiating a dark warning for them to see,
"This the spot we're clearing on the contract?" Eyes flicker over paperwork a shadowy head nods to agree,
Heavy gear is thrown to the ground, a wicked expression gleams along an axe as its swung striking a tree,
Pain is silently roared through the ancient woods, dark ethereal eyes lock angrily onto the cursed two causing misery,
Barbed vines flash out shredding and arm mid-swing, dark branches crunch raggedly through a pulsating side,
A scream is stifled with a horrendous snap, the mutilated body dragged upwards on a hellish ride,
Panicked eyes tremble in terror, paper flitters along, getting stuck on the blood soaked ground,
Running erratically away the glow of the moss fades, shrouding the man in darkness. . . his heartbeat the only sound,
Pains shreds through flesh torn legs, dark saws reflect the moon as they grind through pulsating glands,
Dragged by ancient claws the shredded form is thrown upon a large mound of mangled bodies with twisted hands,
Crimson drops are chilled gracefully by the wind, caressing the sides of ancient knowledge and power,
Moonlight shines upon natures most undeserving form, a dark day for these estranged two amongst this midnight hour.
Crimson light is strewn through this valley, this forest of undying life,
A true revision of natures raw form, within this ever evolving knife.
