Stillness of Sacred Dusk
Location
The day setting into a vast rice-bowl horizon
Lifeblood of the sun
Painted across ashen skies
A sailor’s delight
The wind forming a cocoon of tranquility
Boughs commune, shake hands, stretching ancient joints
Releasing a red silken kite
Earth rising high to meet the sky’s challenge
Eternal dance with the stars,
Celebrating past origins,
Tired depth dancing at joyful height
From long past trees they rise once more
Triumphant in the face of death
Unseen but not unknown
Guiding travelers with sacred light, all coming together
With Luna’s watchtowers
Creating blessed and acquainted night
