Orion
Sand swirls like the tendrils of a waterfall
Cascading between parted fingers
Down
Down
Pooling in the deepest caverns of my heart
Upon the precipice of my mind I journeyed
Through the cosmic myre of Orion
Within its darkness Sirius so far away
Standing one look forward one back
What human mind should create the Shadow Walker
Disguise her as the Raven
For her hand held glistening talons
The rustle of her iridescent wings
She
Only the shadow of the night
She
Appears in the deepest tinted moonlit glow
How our minds fool creates images of comprehension
And yet still images come
Falling down like the guilded sand that glistens
Golden in the sun as it falls
Breath
Stars illuminate so bright
Steps taken like the child upon the first walking
The Shadow Walker begins
No longer eyes that see the light of day
Turning up lids closed to the sun they peer
If opened eyes revealed white is what the Mortal
Carriers of Earthly wanderings would see
Evil they whisper
What evil exists in and ancient art
Lovers infinitely united
Sealed upon cosmic rays of universal light
Doors of perception opened
A matrix gridded lines they stretch
Far from my minds eye
In the midst of it all a form
Tall shall it speak shall it remain silent
Familiar the clench I see the talons
Rustle the feathers I hear the sound
Speak not the whispered rasped clicking
Swirling bounds that bind tightly
Where upon this threaded line of thought
Wandering endlessly spiralling out of control
Breath
Captured seen a fledgling by Orions Gate
Why did I choose this path
Sirius so far away,
Home for thee I shall call
