Dawn Breaks the Waste
Drink the Sky
Dawn Breaks the Waste
Take the time to drink the sky
Where the erratic flights of starlings
Reinforce unseen by-paths
Under a wall of gray cloud
As the first light of dawn
Pushes up from beneath--
Atlas shoulders the world.
His stern gaze disperses the clouds
To leave a kaleidoscopic sky
Painted over the azure depths.
Slowly the canvas eats the paint
Until all that remains
Is a heart untainted, pure--
Illuminated but obscure.
The air magnetic;
The fire dynamic.
Dawn breaks the waste.

Part of You
The particles
(part of you)
The fire
Failed to consume...
The smoke.
The heavy air.
Interpenetrates
Everything,
Everywhere.
<>
The fire gutters low
As the smoke disperses
Amid random curses
Eternity doth bestow.
