Twilight Man Poem by soren Barrett

Twilight Man

Out of dream time stepped a twilight man
awakened from under earth's blanket out of a pod
This revered spirit gave totemic ancestors to each clan
then returned as tree and rock, a slumbering god

As if out of clay he had molded man's race
from chips of humanity's block
In magical song each chant's note falls into place
with music of a mythical clock

To guide us back he left song lines
to man's two souls, a musical map
Here no life or death, follow roots and vines
to dream time in the circle of a never ending nap
