Dreams of Paradise- Michael Erickson

Breathe in the power of this Moon.

Harvest has come, cut back the swollen roots.

Bow down before our twisted bronze gods of old.

Lift voices of age and wisdom amidst this glistening tide,

Give forth the life which has given off blooms.

For now we seek rest and perchance a dream, of paradise before the frigid storms.
