7-10-13

You have set the world ablaze
Every leaf and petal
My own wretched skin
Glows with the sacred light
Brilliance writ across the sky
Thunders path has left us here
A magnificent inferno
I sit in calm wonder
To  watch the reveling sunset flames
Through the peerless context
Of oak leaves trimmed in crystal
The glorious dancer moves on
His thundrous parade to set alight
The hungry hills that sing His name

I have stood before the gates of the Silent Blue Lords
Humbled by their unfathomable power
Yet steeled by my small humanity

The hammer within my heart
The wolf's cry
The sparkling scale
We stand together in pulsing warm defiance

This hushed temple
Where the stars are within my grasp
The sky a stony cloister
This apparent tomb is the maker of greatness

We stand in awe of the stoic darkness
And laugh as our foolish blood rushes
Boiling in our veins
