Dreamtime
We had battled through The Forests to glimpse The Brighter Day,
and as we broke out from the shadows, so The Darkness slipped away.
We stood silent at The Crossroads, as we beheld The Shafts of Dawn,
shining on The Swirl of Eden to Create a Brave New Morn.
As The Sun gave forth it's Glory and The Banners so unfurled
The Vision slowly opened all throughout The World.
And gone were all The Ravages that used to haunt The World,
and I wondered of The Mysteries that thus around me swirled.
Am I a traveller lost in time ? Adrift in ages past,
or is this 'The Happy Hunting Ground' ?
or maybe Paradise at last.
And I saluted to my Brothers, who on hoof came passing by.
And I gazed towards my Cousins soaring gently through the sky.
And I called out to the Wolves, who had returned once more
and out on the rolling grasslands, there roamed Buffalo and Wild Boar.
Then a Warrior on a White Horse sped towards me. riding fast.
Was this a forgotten enemy - from a battle long time past ?
But as The Rider neared me, I beheld features quite sublime
and he spoke of Prophecy and Portent
and of The Mysteries of Time .......
"Behold, thee now these Wonders,
that are thus throughout this land,
these are coming, yet these have gone,
yet these now before thee stand.
Believe me when I tell thee,
This is a world within thy grasp,
and what ye yearn and what ye seek,
will surely come to pass.
Ye may find what ye so yearn,
when ye ride both right and true,
So Dream Hard and Ride on Fearlessly.
Ye have glimpsed The Old and New"
And so we travelled on back to The Crossroads,
Where Pale Horse paused for a while at the bend,
And as we returned through The Forests of Darkness,
Vision rode alongside as A Friend.
