A splintered gleam of vivid light,

illuminates perpetual dark,

casting shadow into brightness,

new contours shaped by seeping bullion.

The rhythmic thrust of new born life,

disturbs the cold, intemperate planes,

existence nurtured out of blackness,

the gift of being in youthful bloom.

Then embrace it, like the mayfly,

exult the brood of father time,

soar in jointure with the daybreak,

and share in flight through boundless skies;

that reach out into a lifetime,

from natures cradle to the earth,

a journey deep through gilded landscape,

and slow creeping wrath of age.

That trickled glimpse of pale shine,

soon tumbles to tenebrous lands,

as inverse colours meld in fusion,

the twilight born of remnant day.

And beneath, the placid ocean

cups the seeping life of summer light,

she hews a stillness out of motion,

a nurtured calm from raging being.
