From The Nightmare Shaken Poem by David Lacey

Here walking amongst the ruins of heavens citadel
I can sense the movements of the past disturbing meditation
Echo's - reverberations from another plain.
From some small world dissolving
Time makes fools of us all.

From the nightmare shaken
How am I to awaken within myself acceptance of the silence that hangs so heavy a shroud
Of death upon the chariot of the sun?

A sacrifice required?
Who shall be first fed, slain for the thirst of the dead.
