As it to hasten the fading glow of the sun,    nocturnal insects rise in their constant hum    The humid earth responde to Twilight's call,    sending forth the mists of evenfall...       Into shades of grey the evergreen's subdued    by my feet, flowers of Witchery are abloom    Bittersweet scented in this late summer night    human consciousness penetrated with starlight       A journey will begin here; onerous thoughts drift to me    now as the powers of nature are manifest    The meadow grows into an alien garden of plenitude    Destination unknown, sanity put to a test       The Glacial epoch brought these moss covered stones    on which I stir from the grasp of restless dreams.    I feel a chilly breath pass through my hollow bones    the reign of summer will soon be dethroned       Like a corpse rotting in a rack    or wintry winds coming over fast    It is all reminder of a single fact;    all life held so dear is only here to pass
