It was a place that I once knew:
temperate fields of diurnal dew!
A land that murmured spectral songs,
that once had enthralled hoards and throngs.
I felt the essence of the place,
where all but one soul was displaced.
The temporal signs of sunny May
came streaming through a never-ending day,
and miles deep I heard her say:
miles deep I heard her say--
An instantaneous night had then appeared!
From day to night, I felt her near!
She stepped from a spot of enigmatic brume,
a visage you have never seen,
here against a tumultuous moon!
Her floating eyes, they led the way,
standing like Artemis, I heard her say--nothing .
She was my metaphysical guide,
leading me to come to find,
the cosmic boundaries of my life;
the energy flowing that was rife--
And she needn't say a word to show,
the ways that which the rivers flow.
