Mist creeps out
from the dark lake shore
through the thickening gray of afternoon,
and crawls over sharp-edged stones in black and brown,
resting on mossy beds.
The air is cool like my brow
in the pervading stillness.
What will rise today
from the liquid murk,
from where bubbles rise?
Ageless runes led me here;
the characters dark upon a silver tome.
The water parts like my courage.
Ethereal light rises in tunnel form.
A voice, a creature.
Running am I
far and fast away.
