The Field-Watcher


When in the shadows of the passing day

A seat is found, asleep in calm

Soundness, as activity of the mind

Cease, and the slow and wavy dreams

Of reality vanish by timeless

Art, those who observe the secrets

Of the fast-forgotten world find purpose

Insensible to sleep, remnant

Of future life.  The fullness of the stars

Softly infuse the distant sky

With rays of obscure light, the horizon

Ever holds the dawn in glimmer.
