Reignite - Promethea

The slowly imploding borders of an ancient empire,
lights flickering in a vast array of circuitry,
a battered starship adrift in the inky void-

our Church.

Yet, though the titaness is harried, old, and worn down,
shrinking, ridiculed, belittled, and cursed,

She is still strong...

A network of vast potential, seemingly obsolete and crumbling,
could bloom again with the radiance
of a thousand suns.

Break the yoke of lethargy.
Dust off the great gears.
Blow a spark back into her heart-

and shall we not soon see a great white flame
roiling out of the darkness
as the sullied bride
bathes once again
in holy fire!
