Homeland by AeWolf, literature
Literature
Homeland
Surrounded by trees
and the city sky...
A sea of stars
below and above...
Stairs leading down,
stairs leading up,
walk into town
and celebrate
or enter lush gardens
and meditate...
Under my feet,
far down below,
the subterranean caves,
the scent of sulphur
and dark, healthy wells...
Under my feet,
far down below,
in subways and canalisation
grow dark fantasies,
catacombs of my imagination...
Above my head,
reaching up high,
architectural beauties,
silver towers extending
into the sky...
Above my head,
reaching up high,
the trees and monuments have caught
my inspiration
in an embrace of apocalyptic thoughts...
Cold stone greets bare feet,
when we're awakening
the evening smells sweet...
With a line of runes,
white walls like oracles,
the maidens at the great ash's roots...
Always whispering and still mute
shadows companions,
telling always the truth...
A thousand little treasures
holds the hoard,
a dozen words of power
serve as the wards...
Aesthetic darkness and cool light
home is the place where
imagination takes flight...
Soft sheets hold the body,
caressing memories the soul,
it doesn't know space,
it doesn't know time,
it's just a feeling
that makes us whole.
