eons countless
you floated
footholds provided creatures
explosion
center propelling fragments
former whole skyward
colors of prism, dirt
grass, flesh
blended
symbiotic clouds
voices shrieking
final chorus
sustaining a half note
keepers tragic
misused knowledge
destroying sacred form
memories, remnants
greatness past
nothing forever stands
darkness newly colors
in the void
like raging waterfall
no trace left
but in unearthly hearts
of planet once so grand
liege's legions
can't reassemble
no welding of the breaks
no place for flowers
for there no more are
flawed race lost
to time immortal
potential never reached
hopes, dreams
sacred past
scattered
through the heavens
tears we shed
for these beings
their power breach.
life have they
in hereafter
in other worldly realm
pain and sadness
grief and strife
vanquished
in the blast
for what they were
could have been
we raise our silver chalice
bow our head
in reverent silence
paying homage
to their past
