The Passage of Time

The Earth Will Speak, That Your Voice, So Soft Now, Might Be Heard
Oh Child With eyes as wide as the midday sun With hair as wild as the beasts which still can be found lurking in the places we have not yet built our homes Though you may feel so insignificant Standing beside such monoliths as these we have hewn from the ground beneath you Standing beneath … Continue reading The Earth Will Speak, That Your Voice, So Soft Now, Might Be Heard
The Culmination of Light and Darkness that Surrounds Us
How these words A trickle at times Come like a flood at others Washing through Washing over This landscape scattered With the relics that compose The very essence Of all we are That all else Might drift slowly out of sight To ignore Or attempt to divert The waters that rise Is to be caught … Continue reading The Culmination of Light and Darkness that Surrounds Us

In Oblivion (Reprise)
Visceral; Lofted vantage. Tendrils of Black and grey Reaching skyward to grasp Falling short… Fools!
