At The Gates Of Dawn

 

 

Standing

at The Gates of Dawn

waiting

for the Shadows of Dark.

Faceless,

Headless,

Daughters of Time

stand mockingly in line

 

at The Gates of Zaron

where the Lord lays

ages past,

comes wandering from the dark

at last.

 

Thro’ shards of flickering light

rides the Golden Knight

as Liquid Acrobats dance forever

 

Listening

to the far off cries

helplessly,

helplessly,

drifting across the skies.

 

There, in the Woodland green

stands the Elfin Queen

looking so fair

with stars in her hair

 

Hideous forms

crawl

from under the deadwood

 

Bitter-sweet are the dreams

of the Salamander

as the Imperial Wizard

stands alone

overlooking transparent life.
