“Through night and wind
Sough withered leaves
The old willows so grey”
From the glare of the desolate
To the solace of ancient stone
Down by midwinter morass
To the caress of solitary oak
Escaping to another realm
Moss and lichen drape the fallen boughs
Through rain of brumal smoke
Warm light beckons the path beyond
Old dreams are reignited
The doors to an old life creep open
A long dark spell only now beginning to lift
Together, we walk on, alone
The lucеnt eye, torn through turbid sky
Peers through the sеa of cloud, and smoky lights
An amber mist, limns the night
Over time's faded tapestry
Toward land's end
Through the thicket of lambent sun
I hear the waves ever restless
As another day fades
A gift of beauty, carried with the wind
Clouds roaming seaward
Are eternally lost, in deep cerulean silence
Far from home
A slow death of her reverie
The shackles of a pallid warmth
Still smoldering, inhumed inside
As I sleep, under the idle haze
Ashen dreams in tender gloom
Sough withered leaves
The old willows so grey”
From the glare of the desolate
To the solace of ancient stone
Down by midwinter morass
To the caress of solitary oak
Escaping to another realm
Moss and lichen drape the fallen boughs
Through rain of brumal smoke
Warm light beckons the path beyond
Old dreams are reignited
The doors to an old life creep open
A long dark spell only now beginning to lift
Together, we walk on, alone
The lucеnt eye, torn through turbid sky
Peers through the sеa of cloud, and smoky lights
An amber mist, limns the night
Over time's faded tapestry
Toward land's end
Through the thicket of lambent sun
I hear the waves ever restless
As another day fades
A gift of beauty, carried with the wind
Clouds roaming seaward
Are eternally lost, in deep cerulean silence
Far from home
A slow death of her reverie
The shackles of a pallid warmth
Still smoldering, inhumed inside
As I sleep, under the idle haze
Ashen dreams in tender gloom
