The Whetstone
The shimmering blade whipped clean,
A breaking daylight upon the dream.
So comes the start of the new day.
Rising, rising, the melting horizon.
To where the birds await,
The proper time to serenade.
And then we rise
The creatures from the night and day.
And slowly the lane opens and we make our way
As if this grandest gift,
Were so hard to give away.
Then night comes in a shadow mist.
And the day becomes this,
Nothing more then a memory.
A breaking daylight upon the dream.
So comes the start of the new day.
Rising, rising, the melting horizon.
To where the birds await,
The proper time to serenade.
And then we rise
The creatures from the night and day.
And slowly the lane opens and we make our way
As if this grandest gift,
Were so hard to give away.
Then night comes in a shadow mist.
And the day becomes this,
Nothing more then a memory.
