Upon a Scarlet Sky

- Upon a Scarlet Sky -

Upon the canvas of the heavens I did gaze.
Watching the east, the autumn sky above…
And in the early hours of the morning haze,
There came to me, one I once did so love!
She was golden of hair, eyes brightly blue,
Her flowing jumpsuit white, with flowers…
Of green and pink to complement her true.
I was still enamored of her heart’s powers,
To touch me deeply with but one glance…
And so I called to her, forgetting her name.
Centuries it had been since our romance…
But my heart was drawn, a moth to flame!

“Ariel!” she called to me and I was held…
By that invoking: of a name holding power.
Once, before that name the fearful so knelt,
When time was still young in its’ own hour!
I felt the sting of tears as I gazed upon her,
For bitter was the recalling of the old days.
Projections from the past, within did stir…
And she shone: as can a star’s golden rays.
Like the dawn, and with it came that flash,
Which is the illumination of truth’s courses.
I remembered feeling such heavenly wrath,
But it eased, with the aid of gentler forces!

“Call me Aurora”, she said with such grace,
And I bade her to hold me as once of old.
As I stood spellbound by her angelic face,
The great women spoke, with voice bold:
“I have ascended, and have such little time,
So one single kiss: will have to convey all.”
She kissed me, in the dawn most sublime,
As a scarlet like fire, upon the sky did fall.
I understood so much and I was weeping,
When she vanished from my side at last…
But some loves are not for mortal keeping!
Some memories belong to the distant past.
