Whistling gale, so whimsical
Shall bluster o'er a wave
Storm's respite in salted brine
As lucid dreams enslave
Kiss of foam, innate this time
Reprimanding depths descend
Cruel upon mine breast, respite
Defiant, meets the end
Bleeding heartsore recompense
Replace the love I crave
Immersed in whirling currents, sink
To a cold and watery grave
Thyme, the rugged warrior-saint
Mystic ancients croon his lore
Moonstone tablets bear his name
Cold, as night darkens the moor
Swells of satin curtains glow
In the moonlight, soft refrains
Haunting melodies, merging
Thirsting ground awaits the rain
Rhythm floats, wild grasses sway
Matching paces to the wind
Bearing the heavy, dark-rich scent
Of a thousand-year battle's end
Drenched in iron-bladed dew
Armageddon of the night
Shoulders stiff, he bows his head
To await the dawn of light
