Mist Pillars '19

This pre-dawn effulgence
 This refracted light
 Of dewfall at daybreak
 The heady flight
 Of murmurating starlings
 Rousing the air
 A whirr of thousand bird wings
 Maidens' floating hair
 I'll die with this beauty
 In front of holy fountains
 To fulfill my duty
 At the feet of the mountains
 The pre-dawn effulgence
 The refracted light
 Of dewfall at daybreak
 An eventual rite
 White frost covers the plains
 Like a ceremonial cloak
 Hiding the old bloodstains
 Around the sacred oak
 Sky is my temple
 With pillars of mist
 Light is my faith that shines
 Through a cloud rift
 As white frost covers the fields
 It glares like a ritual knife
 Into the wound that never heals
 And consumes my soul from inside
 So change the seasons
 The circle of life
 Inflame again the beacons
 A mountain bonfire
 White frost covers the plains
 Like a ceremonial cloak
 Overlies the bloodstains
 Around the sacred oak
 Sky is my temple
 With pillars of mist
 Light is my faith that shines
 Through a cloud rift
 As white frost covers the fields
 It glares like a ritual knife
 Into the wound that never heals
 And consumes my soul
 My soul from inside
