stars disappear one by one
blinking out with the flip of a switch
hint of pale blue on the horizon
then
an explosion of golden light
ripples across the earth’s surface
shoots across grass blades, rooftops, pavement
a glowing orb ascends
slowly
shaping shadows
moving mountains
creating life

stars disappear one by one
blinking out with the flip of a switch
hint of pale blue on the horizon
then
an explosion of golden light
ripples across the earth’s surface
shoots across grass blades, rooftops, pavement
a glowing orb ascends
slowly
shaping shadows
moving mountains
creating life
