On winter's barren shores we sit / and sing of better days

[illix]

I have no need of greenery
the blue sky is enough for me
the ruddy shore, the silent sea
the last great grey infinity

I have no need of company
the stormclouds are enough for me
the lightning strike, the golden sea
the first bright live infinity

I have no need of misery
the horizon is enough for me
the thin clear rim, the glassy sea
the center of infinity

I have no need of sorcery
the shadows are enough for me
the shifting sand, the waking sea
the heart of dark infinity

I have no need of mystery
I stand before infinity.
