un
you wake upon you
and the sun marks your days
an aura becomes
a child
as that brilliant orb streaks the sky
each trek takes its greed upon you
and finds its mark
the child was auroral
and stood out, shone
being
that could hold transfixed
to all known
resplendent among them
they behold but covet
that essence, golden
within
they ascend—you radiate
enervate,
dim
once you align
singularity—emits
thru them and burns to them
and does not return
but assumes the singularity
that orb continues its greed upon you
and now the days hasten
and the nights are sold
they cannot be bargained back
you cannot be a part without them
you cannot be apart without them
you must fuse to be one
you must refuse to be one
with each aligning, consigning—dispel
and now upon that orb's most fleeting
it finds no mark
to cast shadow upon the earth
and the sun marks your days
an aura becomes
a child
as that brilliant orb streaks the sky
each trek takes its greed upon you
and finds its mark
the child was auroral
and stood out, shone
being
that could hold transfixed
to all known
resplendent among them
they behold but covet
that essence, golden
within
they ascend—you radiate
enervate,
dim
once you align
singularity—emits
thru them and burns to them
and does not return
but assumes the singularity
that orb continues its greed upon you
and now the days hasten
and the nights are sold
they cannot be bargained back
you cannot be a part without them
you cannot be apart without them
you must fuse to be one
you must refuse to be one
with each aligning, consigning—dispel
and now upon that orb's most fleeting
it finds no mark
to cast shadow upon the earth
