In the loneliest reaches of a stoneyard dead,
She trembles on one knee, bowing her head.
Ancient words whispered in a hazy glow,
"Grandfather," she begs. "Help me to grow."
Before a crumbled stone, the dirt is fresh and tilled.
She cries, because an imminent curse has yet again been fulfilled.
Tears rolling down and soaking the ground,
She wakes the dead with a sorrow so profound.
The Night Sky wears the Moon as its pendant,
Hanging prophetically in a bloody Hunter's blaze.
It roams the shadows like its own backyard,
Searching for the last descendent of the Clan Barclay.
Impassioned in the rite of foretold revenge,
She kisses the marker of the man she swears to avenge.
Cradling the heirloom that kept her alive for so long,
She gathers her resolve, and walks away strong.

It isn't finished yet.
If water is the elixir of life, then blood is surely the wine.

"The Night Sky wears the Moon as its pendant,

How purely poetic and fluid. This poem really sucked me in, and stopped so abruptly it left me blinking like an idiot and made me want to read more. I cannot wait for you to finish this already perfect piece. Lovely!

This is eloquent poet and your clever word coices evoke some strong imagery! If this is isn't finished yet I can't wait to view the finished product! Excellent!

Yes, I will say that I was satisfied with how it was turning out...unfortunately, I'm having some issues with ending it.

It might not be finished yet, but I'm very impressed with what you've got so far. You've set up the story beautifully, and now I'm left in suspense about the nature of the curse she's under. Excellent work!

I like the work you've done. It pulls the reader into the story very well, you've increased the suspence even more. Let me know as you continue to add to it.
