Chapter 1

The Mountain

Before, my life was full
Of music, light and colour,
Radiant with golden Song.

Then, the mountain came.
It filled the sky, casting
The world into deep shadow.

I ran from it, searching
For the land of light and Song,
But found only a twilight

Of fear and pain.
I wandered there, until
I could stand it no more.

I chose.
I gave up the memory of light,
And turned towards the mountain.

I walked,
Deep in to the black shadows
Gathered at its base.

There, I discovered
The blessing of darkness;
What you can not see,

You can not fear;
What you do not have,
You can not lose.

I embraced the dark peace
The mountain offered,
And built a shrine on its slopes.

I sing to you, now,
Mountain of shadows, Lord of the dark.
I sing to you, my death.
