Like
fiery darts traversing
The
firmaments in august seasons,
Hitherto
more peculiar
We
see the fleshing of this one:
Rounded
tang with the adjoining forte
Of
charm, reason and humble streaks.

When
the keeper of you
Told
of his spoil
And
we beheld the incarnation,
Like
agamas we oscillated acclaiming our sight.

Conversely,
With
the pace of time
Froward
without remorse,
Today
yours, a crux in this cycle of light…
For
we all like flora,
Soon
would wind up our sojourn
In
this behemoth gut.
