Calnek - Sylvan Fastness

Alone...

White, curling beauty, smouldering defeat
Fleeting ambition, stifling empty space
Sink down amidst the roots, to dwell beneath the loam
To preserve the rhythm of the natural world
To nourish the earth, a binding atonement

Seek asylum, escape her eye

Drifting through the birches and evergreens
Pale raiment shrouds clawed limbs
Never beyond reach, maiden of dreams
Foregone ones shelter, fathers of salvation

Release, reveal, unearth

Sifting through the remnants, wretched, disused
Cast down upon a plane of hatred
Shining through the murk, mother of the wood
Foregone ones watch over, fathers of creation

Cold rains of the spring time, cleansing vernal cloud burst
Enkindles revival
Shoots piercing through fertile soil under melting snows
Ascend to divinity

Moss covered walls form from the stones and old growth
Sylvan fastness
Foregone ones edify
Sylvan fastness
Foregone ones encompass existence
Sylvan fastness
