YARIKH, The Wandering Light

Описание: “YARIKH — THE WANDERING LIGHT”

“Yarikh — The Wandering Light” is a dark, lunar hymn to Yarikh, the ancient Ugaritic moon god and the eternal wanderer of the night sky.

Where Nikkal ripens the orchards in silence,
Yarikh watches everything that moves in the dark.
He is the moon that travels, disappears, returns, and keeps the world in rhythm with his shifting light.

This song honors his oldest mythology:
the wandering moon, the keeper of tides,
and the god who brought silver and light as his offering
when he sought Nikkal’s hand.

This is the companion to NIKKAL, THE HYMN THAT SURVIVED TIME,
and together they form the Moon & Orchard Dyad:
motion and ripening, return and transformation.

🌙 LYRICS — “YARIKH — THE WANDERING LIGHT”

[Intro — The Road of the Night]
He rises without a throne,
a silver traveler slipping through the dark.
No crown but movement,
no kingdom but the shifting sky.
The world sleeps—
but he keeps walking.

[Verse I — The Moon That Doesn’t Stay]
They named him Yarikh,
the Wanderer,
the one who never holds the same shape twice.
A curve of quiet fire,
a drifting witness
over orchards, waters, and forgotten roads.
He is the pulse of returning light—
leaving,
yet always finding his way back.

[Pre-Chorus — Keeper of the Tides]
He pulls the rivers the way memory pulls the heart,
slow and certain,
a soft command no ocean can refuse.

[Chorus — The Wandering Light]
Yarikh—
guardian of the night road,
silver-blooded watcher of the orchards.
You carry the silence the stars cannot hold,
the shape of every moment that returns.
Moon-strider, tide-bearer—
guide the world through its own dark.

[Verse II — His Courtship of the Great Lady]
For Nikkal he poured out silver,
a dowry of light and promise.
The orchards listened.
The branches leaned.
Even the figs softened in their sleep
as he circled her domain
with unwavering orbit.
She ripens.
He returns.
This is their vow.

[Pre-Chorus II — The Law of His Motion]
He leaves to teach the sky to long for him;
he returns to teach the world
that nothing truly vanishes—
only changes its face.

[Chorus — The Wandering Light (Reprise)]
Yarikh—
wanderer whose absence is a lesson,
whose return is a blessing.
You sew silver through the night like thread,
mending what the dark forgets.
Moon-watcher, dream-walker—
your glow is the path we follow home.

[Bridge — The Witness in the Dark]
He knows every shadow by name.
He has seen the orchard bruise,
the fruit break,
the seed awaken.
He saw Nikkal lift the darkness
and turn it into sweetness.
He saw the world ripen
one breath at a time.

[Final Chorus — The Companion to Ripening]
Yarikh—
wanderer of a thousand shapes,
you who keep the law of return.
Circle us as you circled her,
faithful and changing,
distant and devoted.
Light the orchard,
guide the tide,
carry the night.
Where you walk,
the world remembers
its own rhythm.
