Take flight the conquering hero
along riverbanks drying in the sun
back to the place where secret messages were written
spells cast and thrown to the sea
swept into the storm over gathering dusk
The ships wait there, creaking
and the rivers begin again to flow

I’ll be without internet until at least Monday, so won’t be posting until then. I’ll try to get some good stuff written while I’m gone. Cheers all.
