Spiral\u2019s Breach
————————————————<\/p>\n
\nDark shades fall nearing dusk
Waters still with autumn\u2019s musk.
Alone, lost, of place and time
True form tossed with force malign.<\/p>\nNow borne fool, bent and weak
Wanders fore for lands to seek.
Souls wed of World\u2019s beast
Bones ground with leaven yeast.<\/p>\nSearching guides in false lands
The fool\u2019s quest, with wrinkled hands.
Knowing only what cannot be
Empty sockets, with eyes that see.<\/p>\nEnding hope with passing day
The trackless night lights the way.
Tears of knowing should there be
Emerald Lady hear this plea.<\/p>\nFlowered serpent on dry land
Water\u2019s mountain past the sand.
Let plumed pinions rise once more
Coiled serpent fly storm\u2019s shore.<\/p>\nOh Great Mother of gods slain
Of cruel sons with swords of pain.
Please Wise Lady let fly free
Mortal\u2019s chains of hanging tree.<\/p>\nA broken dragon seeks once more
Past lives stolen, through fate, restore.
A desperate child cries a plea
Oh Bright Lady, can it be?<\/p>\nAlone and hurt, could hope yield,
The spiral\u2019s breach, for lives revealed?
Of scales bright and wings strong
For playful flight and joyful song.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nKestrel (c) 2000<\/p>\n
