Thaumaturge's Periplus.Sonnet 03

The Labyrinth of Amber

They beach upon a coast of fossilized time,Where amber forests hold the sunlight fast,In sticky prisons of a golden slime,Where every breath is a memento of the past.The leaves are translucent as a dragonfly’s wing,Suspended in a slow, viscous decay;The silent birds have forgotten how to sing,Trapped in the gloaming of a gilded day.The wanderer treads on floors of polished gum,Seeking the exit from this lucent maze;His senses are with ancient perfumes numb,Lost in the splendor of the resinous haze.Time is a fluid here, not a ticking clock,A sea of honey 'gainst a crystal rock.
