Kingdom of the Shades - In Gowan Ring

Without paper without ink

Would you set out to think

A song that never was sung

With words that were not spoken

On lines that have not hung

The signs that leave no token

Stray with me the strands of intricate layers

Strong and swift swim within this stream

Within the whorls that blink

About an infinite ocean

Stars grow and shrink

Collapsing in slow motion

Stay with me the spell of a lucid motion

Calm and sweet swim within this dream

With all the world you spin

To charm the noumenous deep

In bone and blood and skin

A story safe in keep

Sway with me in swing of alternate weather

Strong and swift swim within this stream

Wide word in tone will speak

Beyond a strange commotion

In thought that gathers and leaks

Strains of cogent notion

Lay with me in swoon of elaborate feather

Calm and sweet swim within this dream

Without ink without paper

Would you set out to taper

A song that never was sung

With words that were not spoken

On lines that have not hung

The signs that leave no token

Play with me in fields of nebulous cover

Strong and swift swim within this stream
