Dia, burn thou

Posted: Nov 4, 2007 Sun 09:39 am     Views: 260    Interacts: 4

Dia,

Burn thou
in our age
as our sun
of hope
heralds you.

Burn thou,
for our
blanket
of warmth
shivers without you.

Burn thou,
and illuminate,
as our pyres
of knowledge
seek you.

Burn thou,
and inspire
for our poets
need brightness
to pen a muse.

Burn thou,
warm luminance,
my Dia,
for epiphany
desires you.
