Bayou Dreams

Thunder rolls ancient drums across the sky
deep in the swamp water Bayou priests chant
their voices linger far across the hills
where the rains darken in electric skies
charged with spirits called up from dreamland sleep
where dead they long awaited in slumber
awakened by forbidden rituals
beneath the midnight's cyclopean eye
ever watching dancers deep in the bog
painted in the deep earthen rich dark mud
to play among their old bitter bones
summoning the Old Ones from their mire
to once again reclaim their enthroned place
it is the distant whisper Cthulhu
