Like the joining of two mighty seas
The star stream of darkness meets
The paleness of dawn
Shattering the backbone of night
From the horizon and across the skies
Brilliant flames first red
Climb slowing to white heat
Lucent slender ares westward
The shadow's cast betrays
As if borne by four winds
Overtaking, overpowering, inexorable
The descent of the flames
The rise of calm twilight
As night now smothers the day
