Hamartia
Ave GloriaAs the rest of the world recedes
Like an evanescent seed
As a trillion eyes watch
As I burn in vivid glory
Before I simply fade away
A searing star in sky-piercing ascent
Lightning bolt in reverse descend
Outshining a thousand other suns
Burning away the darkness
Scorching the grasping hands
A blazing Tower of Babel
[I burst before I reach Heaven]
Leaving behind a constellation of fire

It Was 05:00AM
EnchantedI woke with a start
From slumber's trance
As the shadows dance
By a window right
Under the grey twilight
With tears in my eyes
Shining in the night
A half forgotten song
A half remembered voice
Something so familiar and dear
Yet I somehow cannot recall
Elven singing of a wordless song
As it resonated
Through my aching heart
My breathing was shallow and hard
While I was seething
It was soothing
So beautifully touching
So touchingly haunting
So hauntingly beautiful
As I laid still
A fleeting waking dream
That my mind failed to grasp
Of which my soul yearned to be part
My hand reached out to an empty dark
