Awake and dreaming here where daylight fades

windswept the fields beside winding roads

half lost where the moon is obscured

and the miles pass unseen through shadow

away away to a waiting sea

the fey light bright on distant waves

and the whispers, ‘come and see’

laughter and moon-song at the forest’s edge

taking rest upon sunwarmed sands

faced with a drowning world

vultures circling slowly overhead

and nothing to be done but wait
