The Final Line

Great Muses in your golden realm,

Will not you hear my plea?

And sound a bell to end my torture

And tell me what you see?

Great Ladies you who number nine,

Can not you give me thought?

To tell me how to write and sing

And tell me tales to wrought?

Great Ones in the skies above,

Hear my cry and answer!

End this barren drought of mine,

Send to me your words and sounds

That I may write this final line!

Where They Walk

Take me past the rivers and lakes

Of this land I know all too well,

Carry me through the sky and light

To the world beyond those stars there.

Glide through the night and through the day

Hold me in the darkness and in the light,

But do not let me fall without you.

Take me to the realm in which time

No longer matters to anyone.

Take me from these echoed whispers

That goad me and taunt me

And carry me with you always.

Take me to where the willows sing,

Take me to where the moonlight shines,

Take me to the worlds I've never seen before,

Take me to where the unicorns run,

Take me to where the dragons and angels vie

For the ruling of the bright open sky,

Take me to where they walk...

Take me to where they walk.

Providence

Crackling sounds of crisp snow underfoot,
Harbinger of silver linings yet unseen,
Like some broken storm:
A sparrow fallen from providence's high regard
To land gracefully all the same 
Amidst the thorns and lilies of yesterday's forgotten stories.
Haven scorned and blanched in clouded paths,
Non-yellow bricked roadways to lead people over rainbows,
Wishing wells and birds risen from ashes,
Here lie those who fell and were dead,
Will you pay the ferryman to cross our sainted river?

Selene and Endhymion

At  the dawn of every day

As the moonlight fades away,

From your sleeping side I go,

Eb and tides: I follow their flow.

Leaving kisses on your cheek

No means left for me to speak;

Only whispers for when you wake,

Drifting to watch the sunligh tbreak.

Open your eyes, sweet prince of light,

And wish agian for swift come night,

When to you once more I'll come,

And dancers beat and singers hum,

Carrying love throughout our song,

To you I'll always belong;

Twixt dusk and dawn its always true:

In the darkness I'm for you,

But at the dawn of every day,

I will always fade away.

The Once and Future Morning Star

Wishing sunlight away with wind,
Take with you the colors of life
And leave me barren and broken.
Upon wings of golden silver
You've flown and seen my frozen world
-You cherished my ashes instead -
What a true victory it was!
I lie broken-voiced and lost:
No hope left for me, my brother,
But you are the one still in chains.

Wave your toy sword around with glee
-With reasonable force, brother -
And try to recall why you're there.
From my ashes don't kindle flame
For I am here not without cause
-Rebuked but always remembered -
No star named for any of you,
Remember me to them that way
-To Him that cast me from His side-
The once and future mourning star.
