Green Cathedral - Winterfylleth

The winds are loud

The oceans sway

Yet strong remain the stony cliffs

Hold their place o’er watery strife

At times I must, below the earth

The waves of change dive under

The sea from above, they stir

The streams, they mix

But mountains arise

Firm solace of ground

Where we, sure of foot

Watch them dissolve together

Where the water gently laps

At gravelled shores

Where heather blooms

As free men keep unfailing watch

A quiet place, a lonely place

I shall go to it, for one last time

…and be carried

By those who knew me in life

Take me and empty me

From a vessel and leave me there alone
