Chapter 1 - Night to Day

Night to Day

Apache tear sky full of silver stars
A golden moon reflects in glassy pools
Mauve scales sleep in coral caves afar
A tranquil, silent, peaceful night that's gloomed.

A sugared wax hanging from limb of quake
A gold and black fat beast resides within.
It's fast asleep, reluctant to awake
As farmer's rooster crows at the new sun.

Stained glass erupts from burning topaz sun
The horses flit across lace-agate sky
To stain the tow'ring stones blue, to atone
For the bright sphere's absense from the black night.

And to tree's alarm, the bright afternoon
Will grow dark and reveal gold crescent moon.
