Setting fire to the moon
21 December 2014
While rose petals bloomed
Inky red trail of lovers
The sun set its course
How replenished will it glow?
Asked a bee of setting sun
–
The dusky shadows
Peeled off the edges of day
That haunted yet skies
Withered and wizened old man
Son of none, will you now die?
–
Moon carried the sun
Into a frozen night sky
As it died again
Did heavenly compromise
Seal fate of the fire ball?
–
Sun awakes from chill
Setting fire to the moon
Shakes off its dead skin
As day pierces into night
Will none renew without fight?
