For A Darkened World
A Dark Crystal Poem
O for the song of a Gelfing,
Over the murmuring moor
O for the Walkers and Creepers;
They roam the earth, never more.
Alas, for the race of a distant star,
One upon one divided
Alas, for the world that bears the scar
Of eternity, undecided.
One upon one, the day draws nigh;
Three upon three, aligning
One dark, one hot, one great in the sky,
The end of the conflict signing.
Will it be shining, the brilliance of day?
Or is it the eve of night?
Will all that is foundering now pass away?
Or all come again to the light?
