Silence is Golden

Light’s whispers echo Earth;

Glinting, golden hour’s shade

Champagne bubbles burst

Effervescent rays cascade

A toast and fatal kiss,

Tilt eve’s cobalt glass and pour

Sip of heaven’s chalice

Drown today in sky’s colure

Flesh, pierced to the marrow;

Day, devoured in Night’s feast

Yet, gold will rise from sorrow

Resurrected in the east
