FROM THE UNVEILING

 

 

A Response to Mantra of Stars by Unmoor Kiva

 

 

Under an unveiling guitar, the stated words find foundation,

Spirit of Eden  is splintered,  is further prised apart and invoked

As Mantra of Stars by Unmoor Kiva emerges

Graces song and ear image

As soft fallen prayer finds soul’s slope.

 

Here, then,  is power harnessed with ominous drone

And insurgence

……………………………of both string and vocal

As ‘false ground marks the age.’

This spectral song breaks through earth

To find the special cause for cessation,

Its cryptic lyric speaks of civilisations sought

Through Time’s page.

 

As the guitar wauls and stops,

Raging embittered fight against silence,

A gathering storm offers promise

Against which no earthly bind could defend.

Reverberation.  Echo.

From any number of sources,

As the vocal refrains paint the chamber

Along the ancient pass, without end.

‘Dreamlike drafts of ash intertwine merits’

 

With words like these, wisely placed sound becomes painted

As breath can be on a window or in a final and lost

Prized exchange.

 

Here then is the mantra to learn

As Adam Sherry sings through the glamour,

And Gemma Thompson conveys him

With the wreckage of strings that dreams raise.

 

As Sam Sherry drums, intoning all,

…………………………………………………Dark grows peaceful.

As these  shards from a lost time

Re-engage  ours,

 

Stars are carved.

 

A song appears from the stream

And forms the new air around us,

Breathe in here as you listen:

As the drift transports

 

Soothe your scars.
