UNDER THE TOWER

a tower that sees all tomorrow
a wind that wanders
in a world unknowing

a tower that sees all tomorrow
a wind that wanders
in a world unknowing

ray that cuts true
in the light of evening

the sound was the whisper
of ages gone by
the light was the silver
in briars of summer
bare in the brunt of November

rocks bigger than a man
are markers like milestones
and grimace at the wind oncoming

soon will be the meeting
of moonlight and madness
when stars declaim a universal song
when day withdraws
to forest stillness

in black swamps and solitude
in accents of solitude and pain
cry out! cry out!
wind, cloud, rock, mountain
