The Sun Shining

Beautiful spirit, almighty dawn,
Your light flickered across the sky,
Drawing an array of splendid hues,
The rays of which danced like bright swords,
And engaged the viewer with awesome might.

The world would fill with ice without you,
And all of life would vanish away,
For your beams preserve this very planet,
Creating a plethora of vivid vistas,
And infusing them with stunning brilliance.



Death

It crept eerily around
With its long, gnarled fingers
Seeking to bring about
Despair and suffering wherever it went.

It stripped beings of their souls
Siphoning away all of life
And stuffing them into a dark void
To remain there until the end of time.


Mysterious Dancer

I saw you from afar
Like a bright jewel against the sky
You danced with an aura of salvation
For your presence marked me greatly.

Your dance, like the flight of a phoenix
Came with a fire of passion
Scorching me bare, save for my soul
Which came to life with the force of desire.
