Half-light eternal - Fen

Illumination wavers in the strengthening grip of dusk

Darkness summoned something more than dreams and empty promises

Every blade and bole turns towards the fading light

And all freeze to capture this moment in eternal clarity

Around and around the centuries thunder

Revolutions of earth and stone, oceans rise and fall

The waves of life flow high tide and beyond

This crystalline second still warm on the retina of remembrance

Bruised and melancholy is the moment

That stains these skies

Ash will saturate the bones of our footsteps echo

Sandstorm future melts through the half-light tangle

The end retreats ever onwards, suspended in fire

Shadowed by ages, enthroned in forever

This hour, this minute, this second

This very second

Every memory furrows through the folds of time

Shadows aflame with resonance before your eyes

Now branded by the sharpened nature of his night
