Near golden sunsets

Listen to the symphonic
chirp of an autumn’s cricket
cleanly dying away in
rattail ribbons muffled by
morning’s slow animosity.
Breathe the early darkness
as the chill draws you aside,
settles in your mind.

Create a new world
in fewer days and more nights,
slipping new aromas into the flower garden
and pain into His soul.
The quandary came and went
with a new line
and reincarnated
into something much heavier.

Be the apprentice
and answer the demands of the Master,
thick with delitescent urgency
and ambiguous etymons.
Turn His petitions from
sand to boulders,
bear the weight on your back,
on your soul.

As the Son peaks
into His hottest hour,
feel the unbearable,
unquenching,
undeniably tormentuous
fear that the Son will set
before you shade your eyes.

Ignore that small thought
slowly seeping from behind your cerebral eye,
telling you that the Four Horsemen,
indeed, will ride again,
and concentrate on the glowing redness of the Son
as your dying soul sets behind the horizon.

As the Sun or Son sets?
Intense imagery here. I enjoyed the mind twisting thoughts, the idea of the Sun or the SON setting before you are ready.
