Creeping around the pockered hill,
*
Sunlight varnishes branches crimson.
*
Time seemed to stand still,
*
Skin taunt began to moisten.
The old must die,
*
New must come forth from its tomb.
*
Nearby a falcon flies high,
*
Casting an eye on nature’s bloom.
Out of Gods home a humble life,
*
Not human but a living creation.
*
Now eager to join the wildlife,
*
Wing ribbons dry slowly and harden.
Distant hills with glory on there summits,
*
Grassland waits for thy scythe.
*
I had to admit bathed in a yellow gauntlet,
*
Life was so good as I writhe.
