The Weaving (I)

The bitter breath of a voiceless wind
The ache of a frozen hearth

They have no song
They hold no warmth

Without The Weaving

The fetid wisps of creeping cloud
That blight a formless moon

They have no shape
They give no light

Without The Weaving

The senseless cry
The swallowed shout
An endless toil
An impassioned rout

No song
No warmth
No shape
No light

Deafened truth that won't cry out

But for The Weaving
Character arcs are sharp, pointy little things. A little blood may spill!

The Weaving (II)

Night Over Rook

Darkness and bloodshed
Scattered and sown

Don’t want the world to know
All that you’ve done

Hide from the lamplight
Masked and alone

Don’t want the world to see
What you’ve become

Pray at the altar
Flattered and known

Don’t want the world to seek
What’s festered and grown

Cry at the horror
The guilty have shown

Don’t want the world to judge
The sin that’s your own

Darkness and bloodshed
You’ve scattered and sown

For secrets you’ve hidden
You cannot atone

They’ve festered and grown now
The whole world will know

For the city is burning
And the fault is your own
Character arcs are sharp, pointy little things. A little blood may spill!
