Sweet melody� Leaves rustling in the wind� Ray of sunshine� Breath of autumn in spring� Soft face behind a veil� The scent and aroma of tamarind As a young angelic voice softly sing� Can you hear the wind wail? It is lamenting, wailing for us all � Weeping and mourning a paradise lost, Because of ignorance. It is bemoaning the oncoming fall, The darkening night and permanent frost, The vicious arrogance� You can feel the Universe catch its breath, As some dark force springs from the Earth�s belly� Unholy alliance� The menacing rampage of �Shibboleth� As despotic hush descends eerily� N� the song ends in silence� � P. J. Oszmann (2004) � Illustration created in Photoshop. (2004)

And sooner or later, by the greedy hand of man, it will all come to pass.
Now I know why this reached out and grabbed me when I first got here this morning.
Vivid. Candid..and frightening!

Interesting catchword, Shibboleth is...learned something new as I had to look it up...is there silence after a nuclear strike or just the end of the world as we know it...Ed

So dark and forboding! The line "you can feel the universe catch its breath" is a very descriptive one, and seems to summerize the entirety of the writing; ending in "N'the song ends in silence. Immensely enjoyed this one. Love, Leah
