Shadow of Day

Shadow of orange Shadow of red Shadow of black Light of blue Surrounded by Heavens Gates Speckled with radiant hue Shroud of white And dim Stratocast The ambient shroud of memory Her well-lit past But what lies ahead In her Crystal lights Glows the life of centuries Ahead , the neon trance Of fecund groaning humanity skin Stretched with phosphorescent orb And drawn out from within The arched radiant line that echoes Silver moon alloy , titanium Night Into the darkness with reckless abandon Abandon all hope when hope is abandon No more the green of earth s forest Or brown the fallow fields As grey as the tombstone which covers the age
