The Solemn Host

The golden days begin to fold,
A starlight collision takes the night,
While shadows bleed in waves of gold,
And burn the velvet out of sight.

The dreamer kisses a shattered sky,
As sunlit rays bleed over hills,
And phantom vessels wander by,
To wash the pain of what it wills.

Deep in the soul, a siren cries,
A feline shadow shakes the bone,
Beneath the drift of starlit skies,
The spirit answers with a moan.
