Chantry Circuitry Part 7 - Call to The Shadow

(Click to see full size with greater detail)

Another piece from my New Book "Chantry Circuitry". It is a series of poetic calls and incantations to Mystical and Archetypal figures. The Mandalas are meditation tools constructed from manipulated  images of the poetry.

Call To The Shadow
I call to you, O Shadow
Against my closing throat.
Sidelined in a loudening now,
In gleaming armoured coat.

The idle in the Builder,
The mad disturb my dreams.
I played the reconciler
As you fray my careful seams.

I abandoned you to others, 
Painted on all faces.
Now we stand together,
Night defines silk lace.

I embrace you, my shadow 
And lift you from the cold.
You entwine within my now
Stone scabbard around gold.

Happy Tomes Tuesday
