Mourning doves sigh on ice floe clouds
sand dune crickets pierce red dawn shrouds
bull’s-eye squall deluge from on high
on ice floe clouds mourning doves sigh

Vapour trails omen or a sign
grand stream whirls silver mist divine
black birds snatch and claw eggshell pails
omen or a sign vapour trails

Golden oak valley‘s crystal belt
blue lagoons ripple where hearts melt
campfire hoolies spark woodland folk
valley’s crystal belt golden oak.

Withered spot in dim twilight phase
dark moon whispers cloak glow worm rays
damp squid thunder blights skyline plot
in dim twilight phase withered spot.
