THE LIONS DEN

(TALE OF THE TWINKLING STAR)

(Birth)

Star falling from sky

Devastatingly destructive

Fire rain pon the earth

(Fleetingly)

Thermonuclear power

Behold the pure magnitude

Man stands stuck in awe

(Becoming)

Ashes grey now green

Seeds from fertile earth bloom

Life instead of doom

(Manifestation)

Carbon and water

Though we are formed from dust

Fluid is mans core

(Life)

Sun and earth unite

We becoming one then three

Passing on our genes

(Preceding)

The day becomes night

Time invisible becomes reality

Darkness forms the light

(Death)

Brown are the leaves

Spiraling they fall to ground

Many fear the end
