The world is revelating now
In a hostile sphere of silence.
Lights in glowing states of brilliance
Cast shadows in the void.

A rhythm slowly fades away
A murmur gently dies.
Cascading waves, falling, break
Caressing shores of silk.

Clouds of pristine pure float by
Sighs wail through the steppes.
Stars of red find deep blue skies
Steeped in swept horizons.

Untouched, unseen, unheard, unsung.
Undone.
