//------------------------------// // Through Ashes // Story: A Compilation of Pony Poetry // by TheKissoftheVoid //------------------------------// Neath burning skies and ashen clouds The grimace of a world chagrined The phantoms of the quailing crowds Still whisper on the hollow wind A chorus to the counterpoint Of hooves that beat forward and on From out another darkless night And unto one more shrouded dawn Steady and hard they tread the path And though each bears a different name Be it Terror or Hope or Wrath Each road is trodden just the same But soon the beat of steps will go And with them the course that was laid And stillness will hang soft and low And silence call to be obeyed For in the limbo we have made All things fade, all things fade
