the inmost light

		though i walk through valley after valley after valley 
		and find only shadows 
		though i walk and find only shadow 
		the sun falls behind the yew bushes 
		i young in different shapes stand next to them 
		the old chapel is to my right 
		the shadows then lengthen and there again the long shadows fall

		when i saw the shadows and starres fall around me as a boy 
		i knew this world
		all we see
		be
		and are
		is imperium
		Empire of Nothing
