Autumns' Last Light

the red maiden of Autumn

You are the goddess in the Autumn
Leaves sweep about my heavy boots
Guiding me to your everdeep heart
By the path the deciduous has bled

A track in a wasteland unmapped
Undiscovered by the surest wayfarer
Stumbling over fine cross-hairs
Red artwork beknown to the blessed

On through the nightscape & Halloween wind
I traverse the plains of pre-winter
Guided by some elliptical intangible power
The five senses submerge under aether

I approach the mountains' signature walls
The very pinnacle of it tipped in red
Ice-Castle of Witchcraftwomanship
Raised by the North, East, South and West

There you are the star of a thousand sunsets
Red glowing lighthouse for a time
Here i am an earthed one seeking lost
The unearthed ways no mortal can find

In the throws of Falls' seminal grasp
A fairytale whisper flies through the air
So now i can reach all that is unreachable
Your soul, your magick, your red hair.......
