Alone...

White, curling beauty, smouldering defeat

Fleeting ambition, stifling empty space

Sink down amidst the roots, to dwell beneath the loam

To preserve the rhythm of the natural world

To nourish the earth, a binding atonement

Seek asylum, escape her eye

Drifting through the birches and evergreens

Pale raiment shrouds clawed limbs

Never beyond reach, maiden of dreams

Foregone ones shelter, fathers of salvation

Release, reveal, unearth

Sifting through the remnants, wretched, disused

Cast down upon a plane of hatred

Shining through the murk, mother of the wood

Foregone ones watch over, fathers of creation

Cold rains of the spring time, cleansing vernal cloud burst

Enkindles revival

Shoots piercing through fertile soil under melting snows

Ascend to divinity

Moss covered walls form from the stones and old growth

Sylvan fastness

Foregone ones edify

Sylvan fastness

Foregone ones encompass existence

Sylvan fastness
