Canto Ii (the Arrival)

Arcane Sun

I stood and watched,

but I could not believe,

I was new to this beauty...

why had I been before?

The metallic glowing blue,

provoked memories long dormant

and the deep red clouds flowed

with the elegance of a queen.

I was so far, yet the ambiance

was so strong and I could feel my soul trying......

Trying to break free from

this restricting mortal vest.

Soon my spirit flies through the night

sky, unrestricted...free,

like sand flowing through my fingers.

Here I sense real peace,

sinking into the clouds,

I can forget the old world and despair no more.

Sunrise brought a new day and

I was drenched in my sun,

it's warmth rejuvenated my once withered soul.

Here I sense real peace,

is this my paradise.
