Into the Gaze of Night

A poem describing the scenery of a meadow lake.

Carelessly we fight into blistered skies

Battling all the way through

Until the calm resides within the hills

Of a painting that lost its hue

Magnetic waves rumble within the valley

Into everything that is true

While the sizzling serpent sheds its skin

For a fiend of thought we knew

Oh reckless tickles at the mast

Of scattered lakes within the past

Matches flicker light upon the glass

These images of haunt never last

Then into summer we set our ways

Distant images set, forgotten days

Settling horizons among the trays

That trickle over the barren haze

Then we thought we saw the ending 

Into a lost ocean view

But it never fades without descending

Nights erase into the blue
