Aquilus — Into Wooded Hollows

Слушать Aquilus — Into Wooded Hollows

Through night and wind
Sough withered leaves
The old willows so grey”

From the glare of the desolate
To the solace of ancient stone
Down by midwinter morass
To the caress of solitary oak

Escaping to another realm

Moss and lichen drape the fallen boughs
Through rain of brumal smoke
Warm light beckons the path beyond
Old dreams are reignited

The doors to an old life creep open
A long dark spell only now beginning to lift

Together, we walk on, alone

The lucеnt eye, torn through turbid sky
Peers through the sеa of cloud, and smoky lights
An amber mist, limns the night
Over time’s faded tapestry

Toward land’s end
Through the thicket of lambent sun
I hear the waves ever restless
As another day fades

A gift of beauty, carried with the wind
Clouds roaming seaward
Are eternally lost, in deep cerulean silence

Far from home
A slow death of her reverie
The shackles of a pallid warmth
Still smoldering, inhumed inside

As I sleep, under the idle haze
Ashen dreams in tender gloom
