Yellow Dawn

Eyes open

To yellow dawn

Words uncoil

Strength summoned

To utter, utter reclamation

Land, sea, air, and sky

All splendors of Heaven

And Earth

Keeper's tongue refutes

A churning unheard refrain

Up from the bed

Awash in blood

Up stairs of stone

Into light of day

Wailing from below

Pealing out

Dissolves in warmth, warmth

Of dust and sun, sun, sun

Arms reach

Hands grasp

Lungs fill

Open eyes

Awake, rejoice

Body reclaimed

Spirit carried

By starlit waves

In Heaven's hands
