Galdr

[Hraban]

Galdr

A dark silken melody
drowning, drowning all my soul
to light.
A deep lovin rhythm
carrying me upon waves
of sparklin night.

Dont t touch me!
Never - never free me
from this state of eternity,
wild-woven, intertwined,
curling, rushing, flaming
in all-everness,
heart-tearingly intense.

Can t you see
that I am lost
for this world of imposed barriers.
I have to leave
or Stupor will starve me.

Never reach out for me!
Blindfold strenuous struggle
extinguishing the lights
one by one.
Borderlines never to be trespassed
you see.
Not I.

Far beyond the regions of your Mind
- but oh so close to you -
lies the vapour-wrapped Never-to-be-found.
Reached only by the wings
of my own breath.
Oh misery over those
stricken with fear!

Far out of reach
your attempt to catch me
in your spider-web of hideous lies
- wicked, enticing, mendacious chains -
will only grasp
the Mist of Truth.
