A great leap of faith
is strongly advised
To refute and negate
subcelestial demise
The only true shine
falling upon us
Is that of our sun;
unforgiving colossus
Radiant faces
now blacker than coal
Sunlight consumed
yet, remains in the soul
Stabbed in the back
hanging from rope
Strangely entangled
In thin weeds of hope
Perfect imbalance
all things askew
Hypnotic incandescence
starting anew
