Flowers of Witchery Abloom - Thy Serpent

As if to hasten the fading glow of the sun

Nocturnal insects rise in their constant hum

The humid earth responde to Twilight’s call

Sending forth the mists of evenfall…

Into shades of grey the evergreen’s subdued

By my feet, flowers of Witchery are abloom

Bittersweet scented in this late summer night

Human consciousness penetrated with starlight

A journey will begin here;

onerous thoughts drift to me

Now as the powers of nature are manifest

The meadow grows into an alien garden of plenitude

Destination unknown, sanity put to a test

The Glacial epoch brought these moss covered stones

On which I stir from the grasp of restless dreams

I feel a chilly breath pass through my hollow bones

The reign of summer will soon be dethroned

Like a corpse rotting in a rack

Or wintry winds coming over fast

It is all reminder of a single fact;

All life held so dear is only here to pass
