The End of an Age

PART ONE - IMPENDING DOOM if ice were to resculpt our Earth, would we care to criticize? if fire were to burn and reap, would we still stand tall? histories will be lost, books burned, cities destroyed, and people will die. but are memories strong enough to endure? for now is the time to rebuild, to renew, to relearn from old, petty mistakes before heights of skyscrapers surpasses the stakes because an end in itself is the signal to begin . . . again, for better or for worse, but,then, who will be there to know? and who will really be there to care? PART TWO - ULTIMATE SACRIFICE rare, purple clouds streamline east a cold wind blows south the sun (a twin, more like) rises swift and migratory humans flock like birds beneath the frozen highways, igloos contain our past; and hold our future, oh, the weight of One Prophecy! a child, he comes to save, born of Ice, Rock, and Dark but will live the way of Light and Fire. Righteously proclaimed. Crown of vinifera, passito-fruits and thorns, Oath dually taken, Honor and Truth is sworn.
