On the Cusp of Autumn

This has been the busiest summer in a long time. Moving, parties, camping trips, weddings – I am…

Come and fetch me, Lady of Shadows

Let nothing here of my sorrow remain,

Just one more tear to weep for my love,

One more breath to whisper your name.

#

Carry me softly over the ocean,

Carry me over the storm battered waves

Safe in your arms to the bright distant shore

As my body is laid in its grave. 

#

Into your keeping Lady of Midnight

Myra of the wayfaring roads

Keeper of travelers and singer of stars

I have walked the bounds  from sea to circling sea,  and seen a secret pool hidden in stone;  seen the horizon ringed white with ice  and ringed with blazing fire.

I have seen the stars between the branches of the trees  and the sunlight in the space between their leaves.

I have seen the mountains ringing the margins of the world  and the river breaking though them into an unknown sea.
