Tale Of The Hail

Original Submission by Pratiti Singh

* Tale Of The Hail.

Two souls reign in vain; black holding the white seed in pain,

but white held the seed of black to say,

oh, my beloved, don't lie there slain.

Riven by the mortal vale

Even in hail, he doesn't wail...

For they would witen us here, but I shall weardian you to the end of vale.

Two souls in a shadowed dale: Black fading in the cold wind's sail,

white chasing black in a night so drear, calling out;

oh, my beloved, don't lie there slain.

Two souls bound in a painful tale, even in the dark where hopes are pale,

white’s shrieks echoing through vale, saying;

oh, my beloved, don't lie there slain.
