Untitled V. (2019)
Composed to Satan Prometheus by Gorgoroth.
Deep within the forest
Lies a presence—
Oh, it eludes me,
As snow cascades from above,
But I know it is there.
I have heard it, seen it,
Felt it before—
It is old; old and primal;
The crows know it too,
As do the hares, wolves & voles.
Deep within the forest
Lies a presence—
It is embedded in the trees
Dense, and waving in the snowy air;
It is lightless, but it is there.
I wander on in the cold
Searching, foraging by roots—
Petrified arteries breaking sod,
Feeling it so close,
Calling to me; hallowing this place.
Deep within the forest
Lies a presence—
Though it circles, draws and speaks,
It has no malice,
Just a sightless radiance, beaming still.
