Emerging from heavens vault

Trumpeting high from foul corridors

Along timeworn white cliffs

The sun blooms in lurid mercy

They shed the darkness of their spirits

Careening down a narrow path walled in stone

The stuttering herd thump proudly

Writhing in willful ignorance

Drifting a path begot

But the sun blooms for now

An earthly trespass transpired

Defiance against the breath of gods

Purge if not for a moment

Tread on in desolate peace

Where the earth meets the sky

At the forest’s feet

Spirit to guide us continue to be

Far from youthful realms

The dust settles in ravaged land

They’ve learned of suffering

And vow to forsake it all

Now, with lightening in their hands

Culled from the chaos

Time is reborn from perilous skies
