Hymn For A Miraculous Stag

Break the silence oh miraculous white and golden stag

For the forget-me-nots are grandest and fairest of the lot

Of all the tiger lilies, lavender, lotuses, and rattail statices

We found each other along a pristine lake surrounded by rowan

Dug into the palatial mounds is where a noble hall sits 

Beauteous faeries flap to the rhythm of its celestial sphere

Break the silence oh miraculous white and golden stag

Take us to the place with the most archaic and intricate sorcery

And thank the blessings of the man in green for our gnomish growths

As conductors of this grand forest and the deep unconscious

The light between the leaves blinds our eyes and binds our fingers

Getting lost in each other’s patience looking for some beacon of hope 

Break the silence oh miraculous white and golden stag

For wisdom cannot be simply conjured as it must be earned

Manifest magic so we might withstand these trials

Through the hands that create us and the hands that guide

We fall back into place yet stay weary of how our auras touch

Alchemizing our anger into love as we evaluate our spirits 

Break the silence oh miraculous white and golden stag

Until rapid heat death of the universe do us part 

Drink from this chalice of materialized misuse

Pour out its legendary contents to produce a mess

My love a puddle with its liquid turn twisted tempest

The analogous calm before cyclones of chimeras 

Break the silence oh miraculous white and golden stag 

So this mausoleum’s pillars and friezes are filled with laughter 

To bear fruit or reveries from the trees in its hanging gardens 

For mistakes could be made but I won’t let you leave

Because fear of softness and safety is what drove us

To this maddening and melancholic wizarding world
