Beyond the Seat of the Sun

written for use in my novel “Ancients’ Awakening”

past the mountains that misty rise
through the golden, light-kissed skies
beyond the seat of the sun
where my silver tears were hung
look for me

though thickly the shadows lie
and darkness lingers by your side
hear on the wind a haunting dirge
that tells of light upon the verge
yet hope breathes

a place of light where green woods grow
that harkens back to long ago
come dance beneath the arms of trees
your heart as light as morning’s breeze
across the sea
