Dark clouds roll by <br />Turning Summer into Winter <br />Rain lashes down <br />The sky as black as sinter. <br /> <br />Looking for a break in the clouds <br />A glimmer of blue sky <br />Rain so loud <br />It's covers a maidens sigh. <br /> <br />Under a trees lower branches <br />She looks for shelter <br />Raindrops from its leaves <br />Rolling down Helter Skelter. <br /> <br />Cold drips on her neck <br />Involuntary shiver <br />Rain making puddles <br />Sets her body to quiver. <br /> <br />Dress wet and clingy <br />She looks at her rippled reflection <br />Body distorted <br />Seeking life's direction. <br /> <br />Tears added to raindrops <br />Fair maiden looks up in despair <br />See's the dark tower <br />Sharp intake of air. <br /> <br />As she looks upon it <br />Another lost soul enters <br />The cries of the lost <br />As it gets swallowed in its dark centre.<br /><br />Robert Green<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tower-of-souls-v/
