Stir the soul of a mortal man,
beyond the river’s walk.
Where daisies paint the meadow’s glen
and silent is the stalk.

As flowers push the heaven’s high,
as stars become alive.
Where maidens walk and softly sigh
for places they will thrive.

Silent now in the heavens dark
before the moon does crest.
Before the loon does call the lark
in hollows where they rest.

For from the mighty river’s flow
into the canyon deep.
A current churns the earth below
where history does sleep.

And man shall come to find the bones
of ancient beasts that walked
upon the land among the stones
as others softly stalked.

How the words seem to have flowed effortlessly from your pen.  Beautifully written, Magnus. Definitely one to keep.
