siren's call reprise

the wishing well lies bottomless
i soak up the emptiness
feeble light these walls reflect
enter blank, emerge deject

i shift, i gasp, i escalate
unwritten tales reverberate
ripples from the edge of time
fire up this blasted mind

resounding echoes energize
from waking dreams i crystallize
taking hold and changing form
standing tall against the storm

now i'm siren, keen and bold
question, answer, thousandfold
lightning, thunder, hear my call
i shall become, bespell, befall

(2022)
