The Winds of Light

The Spiral Circle called to birth
The winds of Light
That curve the corners of the earth
Against the fall of night

Its double helix lit a spark
In seeds of clay
And broke the fastness of the dark
In fragments of the day

The wearers of its lemniscate,
On winds that dance,
Bestowed on earth the power of fate
To dare the Lords of Chance

So, praise the Spiral Circle's worth
In tones of Light,
And bless those watchers of the earth
That keep us from the night
