Poem inspired by the Cave of Mist


Step into the cave of Mist              
This be the fog of destiny              
The unknown, shroud and thine life gild 
What thou believe thine eyes will see   
Monsters lurk in the darkness           
Foul, wicked imps and floating eyes     
Amongst the deep shadow of white        
They be the daemons of life             
The soothing dust feels so blessed      
The mist will hide all we must fight    
The fog will blind us as if light       
Be there no end to this tunnel?         
Hear the call of the Caller             
Revealed all hidden things will be      
Listen to what thine eyes won't see     
True sight be not that of the blissed   
Step out through the cave of Mist       
Out through the fog of destiny          
Something awaits past these white dreams 
Something hidden that we must seek 

Archon Shiva, 1995
