Slowly did the flames descend,
To watchful eyes suspended,
In silence; and the truth is this:
The Earth beneath transcended.
Twilight fell like whispers
Of an Echo. Bade by Eros,
Venus, like the bloom, transpired
By moonlight. Smelted tears dropped.
See the Leopard sleek and running.
Lo, behold, the day is coming!
Dawn descends from heaven’s scented
Spheres and rolls to Earth like honey.
lovely, epiphanic sheen to it.
Thank you again. I wrote this quite a while ago actually (when I was 21) and I’m glad I did, as it reminds me….
