A New Day’s Light
Through fiery arches
and columns,
disintegrating
shafts, flutes, and plinths,
we will run;
I will hold your hand.
To the other side
of this crumbling temple,
far from the rubble,
where the grass awaits
wet with morning dew,
I will walk with you.
See the skies burning
with the new day’s light;
towers
rising above tomorrow’s
hills and plains
where we will sit with Pain
and listen
‘til it’s but a whisper
under the crescent’s glimmer.
Watch!
The fireflies dancing
to the songs of minstrels.
I am but a scribbler;
I have none to offer
but my words.
But if you come with me,
I can take you
to incredible worlds
if only for a night’s wink.
And together,
we will inscribe our dreams
into reality
and each other’s names
to infinity!
