Sorry to have been gone so long. Very busy lately; trying to get back to some production.
Let the evils of the day suffice to themselves, Let not the dark descend to deeper depths. Let our better angels draw their subtle breaths, To softly sing of virtue 'round our souls' deep wells As the nightfrost bears the spectral knells From distant, dreaming, timeworn towers Slowly marking magical hours, Casting secret shadowspells. Let slip our barges on the sea of dreams, Above those deeps where memory sleeps. Smooth down the furrowed, careworn brow As our ship above soft wavelets streams, Unheedful of the kelpy deeps Beneath the brightness we call Now.
