quickly racing flowing smooth

     plane of glass unchanging be

reflects above bowl of blue

     castles flying may be seen

 

bits of crystal in matrix tight

     foraged in fire before time

buried deep beyond light

     and forever it will be

 

born of fire burning hot

     flying high wild and free

heat released into the night

     forever lost flown away

 

endless tearing pulling free

     denied not in relentless time

stone reduced and destroyed

     bits of sand flow away

 

‘tis unchanged beyond sight

     something that forever has

defined in frozen stone

     unchanging like the earth and sky

 

rushing torrent falling free

     flying high upon the breeze

flashing like crystal jewels

     rainbows scattered in the light

 

pool deep of icy cold

     turbulent currents flow about

massive stones buried within

     now unchanging once again

 

endless time not frozen be

     yet too slow for eye to see

crystals flash in flowing stream

     pieces that time carries away

 

forever stood within the stream

     parting breaking relentless be

bone of earth within the sky

     as unchanging as flow of time

 

one too many does break free

     crystal flashing torn away

tremble does so tiny be

     minuet tremble growing be

 

tipping sliding breaking free

     with the flow carried be

flight too brief it will be

     till the moment it will end

 

quickly racing flowing smooth

     plane of glass unchanging be

reflects above bowl of blue

     castles flying may be seen
