Fire blazes down the ocean‑tainted sky,
Its blue eyes roaring with unspoken longing,
aching, burning, shaking
Clinging onto the fading sun
begging for one more breath
But instead the sun drags him with her
into the swallowing dusk,
Plunging the world into darkness
Fire invades the glittering sapphire sky
while the blue birds sing a joyous tune,
their voices shimmering like crystal knives,
mocking his suffering,
surrounding us with inescapable beauty.
The sky desperately turns to the birds,
begging for one more breath,
but instead the birds glide away,
their wings flashing cold indifference,
as the sky collapses behind them,
Plunging the world into darkness
Fire drifts across the soft‑gathering cloud‑washed sky,
as pale clouds swirl around him in quiet circles,
their edges glowing with a tender, distant light,
teasing his tired warmth,
surrounding him in a calm he cannot hold.
He reaches toward the clouds,
begging for one more breath,
but they drift just out of reach,
sailing on with gentle indifference,
as he slowly settles into their fading glow,
Plunging the world into darkness
