As the wolf cries and the moon waxes, <br />I shed a tear for humanity, <br />As the air bleeds and the sun blackens, <br />I shed a tear for myself. <br /> <br />As the trees cower under the blade, <br />And the old mountains crumble like old bone, <br />I sit upon my thorny-throne, <br />I hang my head in despair for all. <br /> <br />As the earth cracks, <br />And the lands sink, <br />And the seas dry out, <br />I sit here and am forced to watch. <br /> <br />As the animals become a mere flickering of thought, <br />As nature becomes a privilege rather than normality, <br />As all dies I am forced to sit and watch in torture, <br />As humanity lives on. <br /> <br />(...By Etheriel or “Floating Leaf”, Lord of Eldrian Forests...)<br /><br />Aven Black<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lament-for-eldrian-forests/
