tears drained his eyes dry as some old desert sun resurrecting creation at dawn

a scintilla of light spied the dawn as if it was aided by a telescope which knew no name

an agent of light is his charge and carries a fragile lantern

as an ancient prophet long dead lights up the future

he stalks the land of exiles

he wanders the earth

the doors to perception are always ajar to such a man then close as the sky gathers up its dark cloak swirls it about his person for warmth then shutters the night like an autocrat

even stars drop like confetti

tranquil to the west sways a gentle vessel lapped by a single river tentacle of the sea as a black swan glides by

an ornament to creation
