Descent Of The Flames

Like the joining of two mighty seas

The star stream of darkness meets

The paleness of dawn

Shattering the backbone of night

From the horizon and across the skies

Brilliant flames first red

Climb slowly to the white heat,

Lucent slendor arcs westward

The shadows cast betrays,

As if borne by four winds

Overtaking, overtaking, inexorable

The descent of flames,

The rise of calm twilight,

As the night smothers the day...
