Flowing glass

Skyler Boeve 2003

I look at the Erda's hidden beauty,
I cry when I see.
Flowing glass around us,
not seeing each other through the mist.

healing masked men teach
what could you mean?
looking through the flowing glass,
but still all seems lost.

Looking up...
Locking down...
Flowing glass all around.
To no envy, so much is lost.

"Given three keys"
Should we trust theses?
trapped in the flowing glass.
Is there a cure for the pain?

Erda passes another day.
Barely seen in the flowing glass.
Will there ever be another Anglo-Saxon?
