Lies Behind Stars
It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
Lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
Comes first follows after,
Ends life kills laughter.
Darkness.

And I will never lie.

Your reflection.
Halo of Water, Tongue of Wood
Halo of water, tongue of wood
Skin of stone, long I’ve stood.
My fingers short reach to the sky
Inside my heart men live and die.
A castle.

Man walks over, man walks under,
In times of war he burns asunder.

Never Resting, Never Still
Never resting, never still,
Silently moving from hill to hill,
I do not walk, run or trot,
But all is cool where I am not.
What am I?
Sunlight (or sunshine).
All In White, A Fossil
All in white, a fossil,
fresh snow, a loan, the sky,
But just what am I?
A bride (something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue).
