When I Drifted I Heard a Faint Melody

As I Awoke…

The Golden Light Swelled Somber in the East

Inside Its Cloak the Ocean Tide Held Songs of Restless Beasts

The Wind and Smoke Were Bold in Flight

…as Cities Danced in Feast

The Night Sky Broke in Open Stride as Weary Stars Increased

The Moonlit Towers Reached Above in Blue the Hours Beseeched Our Love

I Dreamed of Choirs Slow and Steady / The Song Was Ours, Its Woe Was Heavy
