a) Underneath Midnight
~~
Underneath...
~~
Underneath...
~~
I See the Clouds Ascending
I See the Sword Splitting the Sky!
~~
Thebes Reckoning
Betlehem Beckoning
Luxor's Running
through My Blood-veins stunning-ly
River ov Jordan Damming (Damning)
schizm ov schizos - frenetic jealousy
~~
In the Land ov Hope, the Sun is in Dawning
Ages ov Terror, the Abyss ov Their Dreams Yawning
In This Land ov Mine, the Moon is in Downing
In this Place - there is Never a craving, but a Crowning
Ov The People Ov The Wise!
~~
The Ancestors ov the Last True Men,
and the Followers ov Might!!!
Future's Our Hope
Never to Grope - ov the Sour
Grapes ov Wrath! - I Beckon Thee
Hear Me Now - I Call All Ye
Men ov Heart - Heed in the Natures ov Old, the New Start...
~~
I Return Fire I Return Hatred
with Fire with Hatred
I Return Water I Return Nourishment
with Water with Nourishment
I Return Air I Return Lies
with Air with Lies
I Return Earth I Return Result
with Earth with Result.
~~
The Moon is Soon,
Call out to the Son
the Stars in the Dark
-Buried is the Sun.
~~
Underneath
Midnight
Crawls the One,
Howls the She-Wolf,
Calls the Dark...
(Barks the Son)
~~
The Clouds open
The Suns Beams over the Lake,
Thor's Appearing in His Wagon
in the sky...
~~
"Take Now My Wish - O Mighty Wind
and by and with it I shall die.
Outcry and spread it, the Time is nigh.
Seers and Medicinemen seek&find those who has chosen to
hide."
(...those who has chosen to hide.)
~~
Underneath
Midnight
Crawls the One,
Howls the She-Wolf,

b) Underwood
~~
The Woodland Maze
...gnomes, fairies, elves, and for the Undines a thought
Dancing in Ring, tis the most beautiful thing
tis the centre ov the Haze
A Natural Mystic Lore, like never seen before!
~~
The Woodland mistakes
Modern man makes
The Horror ov Thee
Maketh All ov Me.
~~
*I Don't Know What Fate has to Yield to us
What the Future shall Bring
But I know this, that we are brothers, and we are sisters
and that we are born & forever free!
~~
*(insp. by 'Spartacus'.)
~~
c) The Skeleton
~~
Wandering in the Woods
Wondering if I would ...find Myself dead.
Fumbling through the Forests (-frolicing)
finding if I'd forget ...why Life disappears.

Wandering in the Woods

(Reappears!)

to Leave a Skeleton
for the later age to find ...Me!

Touch the Sky
with Thee Come-Hither-Look in Thine Eye

White bones
on the green ground.
