This Turning
07.03.09

In deep unbroken sleep
a vision came to me
of dark inhuman lands
and restless golden seas
And dreaming I awoke
in that witching hour
for something called to me
with soft and certain power

From covers warm and close
I walked upon those plains
I saw the burning seas
the shores that called my name
And stepping from my room
I left my world behind
not a thought I gave
for what I had resigned

Above me burning skies
below me churning waves
and all around the veil
was melting to a haze
Mist upon the woodland
away the signals swirled
to reveal a map
the web of all the worlds

And do you dare to walk
under a turning moon
the river running high
for it is coming soon
You stand upon the brink
of death and pain and birth
look and you will see
this turning of the earth
