Fenmoss
Lanterns and fireflies, a courtyard dreaming, Secrets whispered in twilight gardens waft unto nothing in a limpid fireplace breeze. Nearby kettle sings, rejoicing in steeped bliss Saved spices and care-crafted preserves adorn the loaves of promise for a better tomorrow... Reaching ever upward, ancient arbor. You saw the youth of the world and now lie so languid. Branches stretch beyond death into the sky New leaves never fail to return with spring. No sense to puzzle over nature's miracle, But only to yearn for the day you again to bear fruit... What do you know of the endless sky? Do there lie lights yet unseen in the empyrean calm? Have your boughs brushed at the feet of the stars? Does it dawn above the storm? "There is comfort in darkness."

In the Autumnal season of 1113, four bards convened to produce a collective album in celebration of the fall. Each of these tracks aims to tell a story which captures the essence of what the year's waning means to the folk of this world and yours. If you dare listen, allow yourself to reflect and be transported. Autumn is a liminal time when one year begins to lose its hold and fond summer memories fade, yet with the looming promise of another year. Let us rejoice in the falling leaves and shortening days. Let us always remember, "there is comfort in darkness..."

Eternal hails to Gallowglass and Isolde's Cauldron for joining me on this split
