RADIUM SUNRISE

As the twilight sky
Moves into view
Remind me of love
Quiet and free
With a silent cry
Words piercing through
A chance from above
Heavens decree

Charming a serpent
Bold without fear
Reading his motion
Speaking his name
Lost in a moment
Shedding a tear
Recall that notion
Do it again

In the chill of night
The sun’s quick touch
Fear not your vision
Recall your joy
Remember what’s right
The hearts strong clutch
To cast off derision
Your strength employ

It is the East Wind

A quick and bright mind
And steadily piercing
An overturned heart
Forever embracing
A wish to heaven
That is cast to the skies
An unfinished hymn
The song of our lives

And this, a cold carbon rose
For my warm Radium Sunrise
