The battle fierce
Is now done
Awash with pain
I hear the drums

Warriors roughly chant
Of fallen foes
And cherished friends
Songs of desperate woes

Against my tears
I shut my eyes
Still I see him
And hear his cries

My lover sweet
His body there I found
Amongst our company
On the blood soaked ground

A sorrow so deep
An emptiness in my soul
My heart ripped out
And there remains a hole

My eyes are shut
But pain with me is not done
My ears I cannot close
I listen to the drums

Interesting. Marion Zimmer Bradley said that most of "The Heritage of Hastur" came to her in dreams, and it is her best book (in my opinion). Unfortunately, my dreams are much more mundane.
