Hidden temple, an unfinished tale

This tale refers to those times when the world was young,
Tale of a hidden temple where the sun, the light,
The wind, the sky were worshipped and the torches hung,
And it was home of terrible and great a might,
Built not by men, but being there from the preworld night.

The hollow sea embraced the temple from one side,
Its wild waves licked the speckled stone and sprinted high,
The second guardian was both desperately wide
And yet unpenetrable forest standing nigh
The mountain that rose up into the bidding sky

On the third side - it had enwombed the secret walls;
The temple had inherited its stately grace.
The forest had passed on its fate the time it falls,
The sea had given thus its three-state face.
And once the triple eagle hover marked the place.

As an unusual fog it was but always seen
Or mere transparent lines that melt in the thin air,
Across the vast lane ever flowery and green -
Winter or summer, spring or fall - a phantom fair
That grows but stranger to this world the more you stare.

Only the few had seen the walls with their own eyes -
An even monolith of whiteness in the stone
Which stands hard and unbreakable, cold as demise,
The stone those lucky few before had never known,
But felt it strange to this world, noble and high-flown.

The temple gates had been seen far, but never near,
Those gates had never been trespassed ever before,
The servants of the gates - the shadows that appear
Each time the emerald green lawn the man steps bore,
White garments of them only flickered long afore.

Its lofty arches held, left from the outer Void,
The remnants of the Dark no light can penetrate,
But in the lit halls there, of any wrong devoid,
Dwelt the Fair Light - perfection meant to incarnate
Into this futile world, most fair and most elate.

And once a trav'ler came to these colossal walls,
His heart was pure, his mind was ever silv'ry still.
His name was Cian, old, and not in vain a father calls
A son with such a name as to inspire the will
Of the forefathers their true guidance to fulfill

And act through him.
