From Silence to Somewhere

From the mould, the mother womb

That dark and moist, dark and moist shield of olde

To rise up again from the tomb

And, like the fragile sprout in twilight's gloom

Into the world unfold

Ancestral gold, the line of blood

A web stretched out so long ago, built to last

Flame of morn, upon a face

That jewel of light, that jewel of light crisp and clear

Released into this starlit place

Erected from a secret, silent space

From silence to somewhere

From a heavy sleep all things appear

A web designed so long ago

The footprints of a heathen god

Entwined around this bone-white destined rod

This now, when everything never dies

Live again

Burst into the scarlet skies

Reshaped, resized

In this dark hour, I search the cave relentlessly

Pondering grand designs troubling me

Cloaked in the veil of light, clarity brightens my halls

Proof of the undying truth beyond these walls

Boughs of green

So gently dancing in the wind

Embracing the Earth

My death and my birth

By warm winds caressed

And enclosed in mirth

Here I lie, at peace in solitude forever

Until I am stirred from my nest like a bird

And soar into the world once again
