Floating beneath the southern sky A new legion of stars Keep guard from above For the prowl of years lost – Over the crests of waves Their roaring pages turn And I sleep at last In eternity’s hands – An old nest burns softly on a distant pyre Sending a mournful plume A soaring…

Steadily a paradise fades Beyond a veil of silver As golden beams glare Through the cold eyes of dawn – Warm luxuries Coil the fortunate in sleep The day’s hours adrift And swiftly forgotten – As a bitter wind mourns The long march of the embattled Steadily they trudge Through their graveyard mire …

Today is a dwindling song Before a blanketing silence It gleams in the hills Until its smothered by night – Without a sound The blank hours tear through the mind Chasing out thick swarms Of sweet memories – They fly frightened Billowing into the hard grey sky While the vile chatter Of dead reveries…
