Night

A blanket of black shrouds the world

As orange pink streaks fade into the horizon.

Upon the cape, luminous beads are woven;

Beacon by beacon ceaselessly flickering

Until the night’s robes are gradually unveiled

By a golden globe of a new dawn.

Elder Rock

A gruff jagged face of earth

Accumulates weeping scars and dimples,

Carved by Creator’s winds.

Balding over time; blades of fresh spiked grass

Pale to patches of dishevelled blond reaves,

While fuzzy moss wedges itself in between naked rock

Like dark tuffs of fur entangled in faded bristles of a worn brush.

The elders of the world

Leave generations before and after

Awe and brimming with wonder

Of the world shaped by time,

That does not turn back.
