Your innocence is more just than her cause
Or read me in sand, flee her victory

With a plea traveling on...

for voyagers adrift in living stream
to waken from the dream asleep no more.

I am alone but never lonely in the night. 
Dusk beckons from the garden. Oh, night, sweet night of mine!
My bruises fade into the ebony sky, camouflaged in twilight...

The Wakening World

A new world spins kaleidoscopic, a whorl of color in revolt.

As the morning sneaks up,
we will all arise.
And what shall we see,
at first light by day?
Look around and all will be known,
the birds are chirping,
and the sun is shown.
Wake up sleepy head,
open those tired eyes.

It’s almost midnight
On All Hallow’s Eve
And I’m here to seduce,
Entrance and deceive

Tonight I come calling,
a nightmarish creature –
You’ll cling to the stories
You’ve been told by your preachers

Who tell you that ghouls
Are all in the mind,
But...
