Light, the broken order;

Hate, the ancient wheel;

Death, the open water;

Birth, the shepherd’s seal.

 

Sleep, the augur’s gamble;

Love, the upturned nail;

Joy, the ringing anvil;

Lust, the tattered sail.

 

Pain, my master’s reason;

Age, the prophet’s dance;

Youth, the fickle season;

Faith, my lover’s hands
