Child of morning

Night, still to the touch,
Child crying through'n'through,
Eyes gone dry without thought,
Father nights work is done,
Child of morn is soon to come,
Yet the day will come forth,
Child safe in mothers warm light.

Deaths queen

Black widow, my queen,
As black as death yet red as blood,
Blood from thy victims,
And the hourglass biding thy time,
Spanning deaths kiss,
Black widow lost in mist,
Love in black widows dear eyes.

Mighty tree

Tree as mighty as thee,
With bark brown and gritty,
Yet smooth as silk,
With roots like steel,
And thy whistling leaves,
Dear old tree as mighty as thee,
Is that truly all there can be?

Scarlet trust

Fox, oh, red fox,
Fur stained by scarlet tears,
Your tail tipped white by webs,
Webs of lies yet life,
Trick all you may, and trick all you must,
The bell tolls for all yet none,
Oh, fox of trust.

Midnight eye

Black bird, Black bird,
Of midnights eye,
Feathers blackened by fire,
Fire of blood yet night,
Cries of mourn yet cries of smite,
Cry, black bird, cry,
Oh cry, bird of midnight
