Winged Night

Winged night, swift pinioned, moon polished.
Awakes, swift lofts from Eldests shoulder.
Wings sailset, black bright.
True Navigator he,
of the Night Ocean.
Moon lit, Star dusted,
story keeper, story teller.
Claw catcher of Dreams.

Winged night, black beaked, the watcher.
Bearer of thought, memories house.
Sharp honed ear sent forth to listen
to Dreams freesailing
upon the Night Ocean.
The children of Gods,
the spawn of Monsters,
await, fear, the Dawn.

Winged night, Message bearer, Star keeper.
Born of the World Tree.
Blackbright, Thought of the Father.
First born of She,
Mother of the All. Who rode
stormtossed, the chaos void,
before First Thought brought forth
the world of time.

Winged night, pathfinder, wayfarer.
Sword eyed, taloned blacksharp
to catch swift
the fleeting Dreamships.
Messenger between the worlds he.
Nightblack, pinions wide,
Wings windswift above
the Nightdark Sea.

Winged night, tale teller, dream catcher,
nighteyed, to the West
spies empty, a Ship of Dream.
Sailtorn, rudder pintle lifted,
storm wracked, tear stained, kingpinned,
uncaptained. Hull cargo filled
with Soul-death, thought destroyer,
He, banished at First Light.

Winged night, tale teller, memory's keeper.
Stormblack clawed, bright star tipped,
swiftcatches the Dream Ship, deathfilled,
edgepoised at Dawns shining edge.
Touches not the cargo, nor spills.
Bears swiftwinged home the Dream Ship, Death Ship.
Rides blacksilver swift, the River of Dawn.
To the Great Hall, where Eldest sits dreaming.

Winged night, storm cryer, secret keeper.
Black winged, Dawnbright uplifted.
Talonbearer, holds wracked, soul dead,
the Dreamship life empty,
to the Hall of Fire and Gold,
where Eldest waits dreaming.
At his feet, nights red embers,
fire bright, fly sparking upward,
to quicken, newborn, on the River Dawn.

Winged night, swift pinioned, sun polished.
Returned finds now swift shut before him,
The Four Gates of the Mighty Hall,
with the shout of Ten Thousand Warriors.
North, finds Cold, the Winter Gate.
South, where Sun and Fire wait.
East, where Day comes forth, the Dawn.
West, from whence The Dark is drawn.
