It's the most vivid sound you will ever hear.
It settles with a calm and easily startles like the ricochet from the lightest of touches to the glassiest lake.

I had a dream I carried a torch through an endless field.
The darkness seeped like ichor as endless as the stars.
It seemed to carry on for eternity,
Until the hungry sea gazed at me from below a cliffside.
I tripped, sending the cherry flames over the edge
And saw it swallowed by ravenous waves of grey.
But still it burned.
