Whispering shadows
Whispering shadows
Paths accrues through endless shores of time
Reach out to the edge of the sea
We roam adrift till
Bridges crossed to find
That which we do not know
Mountains in the distance yet to climb
Through dark caverns of ourselves
And Snake pits of the soul
Out of molten whombs
Jacobs’s ladder rises to a crimson sun
Northern lights
sets Compass straight that
sail upon the open seas
