The Book of Words

by Sir Miles

A collection of poetry I wrote based on The Book of Words trilogy by J. V. Jones.

1. Lake Ormond Over the Falls

I wrote this for Tawl, after he goes 'over the falls' to prove himself.

Lake Ormond (Over the Falls)

Up, up, from the depths of the water.
Up, to the light.

From the green darkness I climb,
Born anew.
A new breath to clear my lungs.
A new sun to clear my eyes.
A new love to clear my heart.
I am born anew.

Up, up, from the depths of the soul.
Up, to the light.

From the black stillness I climb,
Born anew.
A new cause to clear my guilt.
A new path to clear my footsteps.
A new life to clear my dreams.
I am born anew.

Up, up, from the depths of the water.
Through death I climb,
Until I am cold no more.
Up, to the light.
