Into the mist
they swarmed and they crooned
with night colored garments
all hooded and cloaked
and drank from a chalice
of gold and marroon
Each breath that they drew
tasted frost on their lips
whispering mysteries
of their histories in soft spoken tones
to the essence of nature's
oaken old spirits
From the chimes of the belltower
far off from the wood
they knew they were beckoned
from the cave where they stood

Out from the Mist
these wanderers came
searching for answers
that kept them aloof
not a night nor a day
nor a year would tell,
but a lifetime of searching
could show them the truth
but continuing forth
on a new night's rebirth
they once again fell
from their calm quiet lives
to the realm of mystery
for the procurement of knowledge
that heldfast in their eyes
and that journey began the same every night
from the clarity of innocence
preventing free thought
to the shrouds of the mist
where they truly are taught.

Phantasmagorically mystifying!
You captured my imagination with yours!

very strange.. i believe i had a dream last night that was very much like what you described here? This belltower you speak of, was there a fireplace within with couches? just a shot in the dark. Very well done, fellow Jedi.
