From a stark background
life emerges;
Ruby and violet
bursts forth,
Ivory-tipped tendrils
reaching toward the sky.
A creature shadowed
in darkness
Rests within its center,
bathing in its light.

The worn brick
and weathered layers
tells a story
That reaches back
in time, a tale
as infinite as
The endless waves
crashing onto shore;
a hand reaches
Ever so gently to
touch the sun-burned
walls, eager to
Listen and learn.
