Where Stones Have Crumbled, Time Had Fallen

Raging waters gashing through granite once out of time settled and slept

The ended of tales then, as battles fought, racing along to yet another war

Quietly the hour encompassed forces of its own and of blade and tombs kept

Under the sun that the flow of hours passed, it turned upon the same, ages before

Once out of eons where tower was dark, sunlight descended reaching its door

 

I was called to bring the landslide upon palace floors and knock over walls

Like a root out of the core of mountain tall, I've touched layers of the sky

There was knowing before winds blowing, now hidden behind stone walls

Hillside ablaze moved under the waters, and islands given to tidal cry

Where legends were made, immortality the key of absent time, they try

 

Sometimes the slow touch of evening shelters an unknown stake of night

And the glassy dark brings the shimmer of ground and wave and lapping oars

Whispering to never extinguish the candle under the stars, twinkling white

Whatever suits the hour hidden behind the stars, take that light to their shores

Where long years have passed, change comes unseen in lingering twilight

 

There exists a power called out of base elements beyond a fixed frame

The measured knowledge aligned but unfulfilled breaking down and sparse

If all beginnings to end and tracked back the end to a foretold magic name

Where numbered days shook off the command and cast their desired charts

Where seasons have returned, their course and reason was but a farce

 

And I danced like a flight of wing touching the wildly wielded of world's line

Flowing like cloud but gathering no dust or shimmer in airs that were true

Have you not been here too? Have you remembered the profound length of shine?

The Golden Flares, the Ever Path, the Towards Orbs, the Spiral Steep in blue?

Where conquests have splintered, another rotation and they are again new
