Spirit Invasion. A garland cinquain collaboration

There was a time we did not believe.
When mist was merely moisture,
And the distant rumble in the night,
Was but thunder from afar.
There was a time all shadows were bound to objects.
Shaped by light,
Afraid of darkness.

That time is no more.
Now we have seen
Now we have felt
And now we are aware
But so are they!

Ice cold
Back and forth those,
eyes hastily juggle
Cries of flocking bats, cut through pained-
silence!

Nameless
They prowl lost caves
Tunneling beneath us
And the earth rumbles in disgust
Befouled

Murmurs
defiant, that
swarm from quarters unknown.
Beyond the grey mountains rustle
Up wind

The veil
Nature’s facade
Ripped from valley to peak
Evil catching the scent of good!
Thirsting

Beware
The changing winds
Things, more than meets the eye
Red alleyways of serpentine-
darkness

Ice cold
They prowl lost caves
Swarm from quarters unknown
Evil catching the scent of good!
Darkness

There was a time we did not believe.
When scratches beneath the bed were simply nightmares,
When sighs in the closet were just imagination,
When those we buried were gone forever.

That time is no more
The darkness is now sentient
And the light has sent its warriors
Too few
But the battle has began!

I hope you enjoy this latest collaboration;
Aishwarya did the bits in bold,
And I patched up with the rest.

I’m craving your thoughts, let us know what you think.

This mist don’t scare us.

Also for Colleen’s syllabic challenge – synonyms for past and present.

Stay safe everyone, Stay loving.

A garland cinquain is a combination of six cinquains, the last of which is comprised of a line from each of the five before.
Each cinquain has a syllable count of 2/4/6/8/2
Hope I explained that well.

P.S

Watch out for the January issue of THE SATURDAY SYMPHONY this weekend (now a monthly feature)
