Celestialice

You wrap yourself in a blanket of light
star sapphires in your hair
you own the essence of the night
your visage young and fair
     rebukes the  breaking of the dawn
recites a rolling rune
you yearn for evening to go on
alas the waning moon
      portends the shredding
of your cloak
the points of light grow dim
you fail at daylights fatal stroke
your leaving is a hymn.
