Beyond the Shadow of the Valley

I am not a prophet,
But a shadow
Watchman before the dawn
I speak to you,
By his meadow
Beware the sword, of nameless pawn
I tell of numbers,
Thrice times three
A name unutterable, void’s phantom spawn
I warn thy few,
Of blasphemy
Blackest noon, before the gone
I point at yesterday,
Towards principalities
Heed not their ink, a falsehood drawn
I reach for tomorrow,
His bright realities
Love now, withhold not, upon her yawn
I cherish so,
A lover true
Heaven’s truth, the pearl, clear water’s swan
I promise forever,
I proclaim to you
Beyond the shadow of the valley, shepherd’s greenest lawn
