Stripping Souls

Darkness avenges light and swallows it up.

A burning sun dies,

melting in a horizon where orange flames mold with stars.

Shadows awaken and roam a world.

A black cloud is studded with blazing stalks;

swaying and jumping throughout the dark.

An exquisite pearl rules a sky.

 

Slowly and on toes...

Secrets are born,

masks of empty smiles and eyes fall

tearing flesh and bones;

and what we thought as mythical creatures are shed,

awakening the truest nature of souls.
