Das Kind im Schatten  -(Final Rev. Ed.)-

A tune I wrote for my partner-to-be who likes stargazing back when we were dating. If anything, it was a good indication that I'm not always in tune and on time. Been together for 4 years, apparently it wasn't enough to scare her off. :) Love ya, mate.

she believes in the beauty
of pebbles and in the logic
of living sustainably -
amulet wheel, amnesic

as seasons and perfumes drift by -
a bearer of shields and magic,
her carpet is worn - she will die
an unapologetic aesthetic

SONG 119 - NaviarHaiku609 - Revealing in the Dark

The haiku:

revealing in the dark
the sadness of things
a fisherman's torch

pseudo whale-song and mellotron combining to create an air at least of melancholy, at best of sadness

another howl from the SpaceDog's kennel
