Yours are the secrets
I'll keep
locked beneath
Virgina City ruins;
deep
within the mines.

May they find
a way
to sparkle-
really shine
some multi-faceted
light,
compared to my
fools gold notion,
they will beam their way back
to me
so easily......

but have mounds, hills,
of Earth
to uncover-
shovel from these eyes,
before the clear-cut
night,
when granted
Clarity.

Listen to the
sparkling
of the firmament
above,

Hush'ed creatures
cradled
'twixt vast concave
hollow.

Stilled bay holds
wax moon,
vitreous in her
gaze,

Teeth held tight our
tongues-
gut seized words
swallowed.

Heavens mirror
that inherent
to

Our lot-
reflects a brighter
truth.

Souls alight,
plunged deep to
take

Steadfast vows
'neath Sky's
wake.

This era's
sojourn

Leaves naught to
yearn.

Our fate's
law-

To live

Love.

— The End —
