GALLOS



Stasis in sunlight.
Then the blue expanse
of sky and horizon intrude.

Arthur's archetype
has drawn me here
to this high place - the Head

and its fissured precipices,
crumbling walls
and secrets I cannot quite catch:

The Grail.
Knight Seekers inciting
fanaticism -

hidden unfathomable truths,
mythic ghosts.
Now, something more profound

hauls me back through centuries.
Changing shape,
I am a different being -

a black
Cornish Chough, perched
in Gallos' hollow centre.

And now I
call to the Once and Future King:
a Totem's cry

carried on the Dragon's breath.
And I
become the Horn

whose reverberation
reawakens Him
to Albion's dire need:

a new Armageddon is upon us...

  2. __ The devastation... our local hurricanes and to the more... the worldwide earthquakes; within it all, we see the heros, and that when we give as little as it may be, we help they that face the new Armageddon. _m

    Nibiru
    aligns within we all
    until we give

    rebels with help
    in silent faith they serve
    tomorrow's breath
