Dreams of the Fifth Empire

Dreams of the Fifth Empire

A Poem by An owl on the moon
"

Come forth in your myriad madness

"


Come forth in your myriad madness

Come from your solemn, hollow places

Lonely owls awakening the chorus

These cries from Sintra’s stones

 

Vanished in the Field of the Three Kings

This winged angel of crowned splendor

A sleeping king so soon to rise again

On a misty morning not unlike today

 

Listen to the voices of the Mensagem

Hear how the golden one returns

Sebastião, sweet ruler of the light

Sebastião, hero soul of Os Lusíadas

 

There is in each dark cloud a feather

And in the rustling, such wild wings

Now in dreams of the Fifth Empire

Enchantments of the approaching age

How funny things in life work my dear enchanting friend. i was lead here to this piece.....and your words moved in me what it was designed to. Perspective at play as well I am sure. Just when I think I am all alone in this madness called life, the reality slips just a little and am able to see just a twinkle of the connectedness of one. I like what this owl whispers of awakening as we approach enlightenment. I, for one-am ready for some of that sleeping light in my life :) this one flows with a quiet but confident strength.

Thank you :)
Dark and fantastic in every meaning of the second word. And every good meaning of the first. Mythical.

An enchanting, enjoyable read. I particularly like the lines about the feathers in the clouds and rustling of such wild wings. Thanks for sharing.

Problem with fresh beginnings is that they generally start from stale endings. Nice to dream though. T

An enchanting equivocation on Quinto Império. Your pen has skillfully described the awakening of this spiritual power. The perfect word choice like "rustling", "splendor" and many others fit so well the imagery of the new era. Mystic and lovely :D

We have enough madness to last a thousand lifetimes; who knows, when, if, the Fifth Empire ever dawns, there will be light at last.

Beccy.
