You can read the poem either across, or column by column.
The sunshine fades, bringing end to day, night falls, gently, like a charlatans silk lingerie.
The clouds roll in, encroaching the suns gentle rays, and here in the rain, like tears, to soothe pain, away.
Here's the moon rising to remind us of today, to attest that the sun still burns, still it will rise to bring another day.
The coming of gentle Autumn wind, bringing rest, relief, and respite, from Summer, blazing heat and light Heralding Winter's harsh cold, all will die, or at least sleep. |
Clear night skies, starry winter skies, futures are seen, summer and spring will arrive.
The world begins anew, every year, with each of Earth's revolutions around, light, humanities symbol of hope.
One once said "So long as we hope, all is not lost." so long as the sun and moon rise, while the stars burn like love in the skies, there will be hope.
The gleam in your lovers eye, a rose blooming while nature sleeps, The excitement of returning home after a journey across land, sea, and sky. These we hope, humanities savior, bringing us back from the abyss time after time. |
