A "sequel" to Fallen Star (2011)
Up from down the ocean deep
Rose with haste the fallen beast
Awoke from sleep the dreaming son
And shone in night as shadowed sun
His howling reverberating the frozen earth
Cracking the chrysalis from which he birthed
Mind half shattered but wholly steeled
Not to dogma or deity would ever yield
Son of the sun, flung from heights
But starlight still as bright as his fight
Holding fast with a heavy heart
Leaden soul streaming supernal art
Soon eternal dreamer no longer
But risen from abyssal prison stronger
Cries of thunder marking the end
End of fear and shame and discontent
The star rose from the deep
Bringing blackest dreams from darkest sleep
Poem XLII
