Here below the Sun
Beneath the molting branches
Autumn brings a restless peace so cruel
With every wakeful eye
With every fateful silence
The dawning chasm
Winding up the years
Shadow of the sinking light
Immortally wounded
A witness to the end of time
A burning and a blessing
Shadow of the sinking light
Immortally wounded
A witness to the end of life
A burning
And a blessing
Here beside the fire
The cradle of unknowing
Winter's fallow beauty
Bears so true
That life and death are one
And light is twinned with darkness
And every seed is sown
For reaping soon
Shadow of the sinking light
Immortally wounded...
