The Secret Workings of Night
February 6, 2016
Blackness.
Foreseen as the sun
leaves the world,
Wispy
threads of flames
flicker,
gasping for life,
until they are
cut.
Magic.
Magic begins
when they are released
from the sky.
Whiteness.
Uplifting the blackness.
Tumbling ever
so
sl
ow
ly.
Every
last
corner different,
every
last
detail different,
yet observed
only through the
glass eye.
Never ceases
being cold.
Never ceases
bringing bliss,
for those
asleep.
