First Red Rays

As beasts we crawl

Our souls in tatters

Low to the dirt we scrape

Degraded and hollowed

Callous winds come ripping

Every small light consumed

Cower in rooms made coffins

Quiver as to dust we turn

Drift weightless without form

Stilled in timeless air

Hang eternal stars

Coursing paths we cross

Into lightening sky

Fading

On frozen peaks

First red rays earth from heavens sever

All born, empty and silent

From blind night torn

New dawn unveiled
