Forgotten Dawn

The change in seasons wrought changes within us
Men walked about the land in hubris
We took without thought
We spoke without wisdom
We thought without reason
We lived without thanksgiving

And those spirits
Whom Nature had asked to watch over us
Wept with shame and despair at our actions
The fairies, elves and all other angelic forces
They all faded into distant memory.
Back into myth and lore.

They knew there was no reminding us
We'd forgotten where we came from
We'd forgotten our true mother
We'd even forgotten the splendor of dawn
