A cake of crystal

Supports the sky

In a little

Woody ply

Across the yard

In a funk

Of gargoyle guard

And camouflaged skunk

A sheltered haven

Of feathery breezes

That welcomes the raven

That majesty seizes

In time for the tragic,

For the hopeful, the stoic,

Relapsing in magic

In sight of the heroic.
