In infinite dance, stars collide and vanish among clouds only to return. -if sunrise does not steal them first- The retinue of moon phases, endless motion: waxing, fulling, waning, floating, pure white. As winds rage, trees sway and bend seemingly in prayer - though withered, flower petals will blossom in their grand return, sway and lean to face the sun- as it travels across the sky in daily procession before setting. It bows to the moon, burns and fades, devoured by horizon pine tops as lovers embrace, kneel and bow, light candles, incense of rose and jasmine, scatter rose petals, say prayers and fall; in sweet surrender blessing each other with love's bounty. |

In infinite dance, stars collide and vanish among clouds only to return. -if sunrise does not steal them first- very very nice. the rest wasn't as good in my opinion. it didn't have enough of a point in it for my liking. you had great description though. |

not supposed to have a point, its infinite heres a bit of my own sun salutation Screaming, writhing, the bloody faced sun shouts and cries of the silent line between life and death, yesterday and tomorrow, warning of both demise and promise, inhaling and exhaling, one last cry , it vanishes into its own self only to be reborn and die again, a million times over connecting the eyes of past spectators to mine right now. |
