Deep in the soil of the oasis Beneath the searching stars Eras climb and fall In rolling waves of sand – An internal prayer is born Turning over and over Breaking through solitude To fill the hungering silence – Will these words sprawl their roots In this fertile patch of ground? Bursting free into the…

I hear the sirens calling from a dream The rise and fall of their harmonies Drifting through a maze of buildings at dawn – Overrun and haunted By the red winds of sulfur As the cruel day burns The last trills of summer – I feel the earth stir alive With a mother’s brute force…

Gathering To pour out their share of worldly spoils From each treacherous road Spilling over the horizon – They fill the chest in the night Until they’ve bled the day’s venom Falling bare and at peace In the silver rays of dawn – They gather As I’m crushed In the iron vise I’ve…

Miles into the realm of sleep The outer world downpours In riotous waters Parched roads turn to rivers – Their troubled waves crest With creatures lurking in their depths Sailing past the dark veil Of a quieted city – A fear wildly blooms In the cold-hearted tempest Twining over and under Craning for the hardened…
