Upon the Dawn

Contributor: James Dennis Casey IV

- -
Ships that come not home
Perhaps you know
In the valley of forgotten dreams
There is a god

The apple tree
God's autograph
Nature his temple

Monosyllables
The soul of music

Earth's supplications
Things I need not buy

Eulogy
Emulation
Immortality

In a dream
That lied like truth
The elders
Spoke of good omens

Only the wise have real eyes

Prepare your ships
For landfall
Upon the dawn
