Prompt;;Eyes open wide to stars shining bright,
Two ghostly cats appear in moonlight.
Motioned towards the edge of a nearby cliff,
Spine like the lake beneath, frozen and stiff.
Leaping, Falling
Screaming, Calling
Landing, Gracefully
Standing, Safely
Spotting beneath the frosty floor,
A cat seen many years before.
Floating in perfect stillness she lies,
"I must break through this wretched ice"
A single crow, feathers dark and black,
Spreading wings, begin to flap
BREAK!
Squawks the crow and more appear,
Landing, surrounding, and drawing near,
BREAK!
Behind the murder an ominous fog grew,
Beating their wings, commanding,
BREAK YOU!
Deadly terror coursing through veins as paws awkwardly slip,
Turning, running, confidence wanes as claws suddenly grip.
Crows follow in chase, dive bomb at pace,
The shoreline a never closer end to this race.
Nearly to the edge, a quick survey of what follows,
The fog finally reaches, engulfs, and then swallows,
Eyes open wide to flourishing meadow,
Striped she-cat, moonlit, not alone though.
The two from the cliff stand at each side,
"There is a weight in you, deep inside"
Ice hangs from frozen fur,
"I tried my best to save her"
"Will you suffer the same fate?"
"Frozen still in this place?"
"It is finished" she turns, and retreats into the blades,
The ice melting away, dripping water that soon fades.
"It is finished."
