Seriously

Let the dark angel
pass by
       only one of
the three
will
    join us
     jewels and rings from
  far-distant lands
dazzle the eye
         yet the memory of 
the shadow 
     still persists
According to legend 
   magic 
frees us 
    from the bonds 
of time
   grants us the stars and
moon
    Wielding mighty power
we step back from 
   the edge
Glowing embers in the
   night
  remind us of
what was, what is, what will be
   As the embers die
  wiffs of smoke ascend heavenward
