Kite of Luminous Splendour

.                              
                              Sophia 
                      Fallen and broken
            Once a kite of luminous splendour 
        Guided by the motherly wind of heaven 
 Broken everywhere, like a shattered mirror of light
     Tossed back and forth on the ocean's ripples 
       Once a luna moth on the Pleroma's shore
          Who saw her own light on the waves
            Deceived by her own silvery allure 
                 Soon the only-begotten sun 
                  A child just seven days old
                     Saved his broken toy
                       His broken friend 
                         And lost sister
                              Sophia
