This is an updated version of an earlier poem
When Eclipse eliminated all our preview images I just thought
It was such a shame not to be able to use the very cool stock image
so I finally got around to incorporating it into a fully visual poem.
The poem itself was a bit experimental
The stanzas are actually a chain d tanka poems

The pipes call softly
Weeping like a forlorn soul
Across mist cast woods
A strange, haunting melody
Somehow oddly familiar

I feel its allure
The sensation is so strange
My heart burns to know
Why the eldritch sound beckons
Why it grips me so firmly

Uncanny and deep
Calling to something within
That echoes its tune
A longing to join that song
Unbearably strong

Dare I follow it
Search for that spectral piper
Would it lead me on
An unseen path to strange realms
Of mystifying splendor

The call is so strong
An irresistible tug
Drawing me away
To the ancient and unknown
Kingdom found only in dreams
