A glazed fire falls to earth.
A blaze so grand it will destroy your only exterior world.
A spread of rubies is covering the horizon,
so close you could fly to it
so far you can only fly to it.
This fire is our only day
he climbs high for his eternity
and falls
only for a minute
To have a fresh faced man take its place
for he spends brief moments in glory
and the rest in the ground.
