through nightscapes
an untitled self wanders
in a forest
among silhouettes of giants
cascading shadows
and the sun drips liquid fire
tears for a lover
or tears of wrath
no one knows

reflections of moonlight in the water
drifting between dream and reality
everything dissolves in light
and is reunited in shadows

the universe is a place of darkness
where drops of light
fade in and out of existence
again and again...
an infinite cycle of mystery

...wondering
which bubble of light I am
when I look up
at the night sky

coldness creeps in
little flames flicker faintly
eerie ghostlight
glimmering
dancing an ominous dance
teasing me
inviting me to dream
dreadful dreams

stalking apparitions
weightless yet they can’t fly
like still life longing for motion

a bear roars in the distance
as the night unveils her

the sylvan goddess
her hair falls in autumn colors
the dew of morning dawn on her skin
her bioluminous eyes rest upon me
like her kiss

where a heart beats there is wilderness
and where a fire burns there is a home

Sylvan Goddess:
Oh dear sister soul
dear brother soul
I made you from earth
I gave you flesh
so you may feel my warm and tender kiss
fill me with the love of your heart

from now on
grandfather bear protects you
walk in his steps and you shall never fall or tremble
you shall never be lost
walk in his shadow and you shall never be afraid
you shall never be alone
honor him for he is strong and he carries the memories of the ancestors

dear brother souls
dear sister souls
I forgot the wind on my face
the whispering of the trees
I forgot who I was
but now I remember

welcome one
enter together
reveal yourself
among them

there they sit
around a fire
dancing
beating the drums
laughing and singing

under the trees
and the starry sky
at night
the wild ones gather
