Skyborne Reveries - Lamentation for a Wilting Blossom

Born from sacred empyrean rays
Blessed by a springtime deluge
Under starlight, amaranthine
A violet gem, in silent beauty

A drop of dew at dawn, a springtime blossom
Sunlight singing in harmony, with the waterfall’s cadence
A choir of splendour, perfect unity
A threnody for the departed petals

The furtive decay hath come this night
Under starlight, a lonely floral soldier stands tall

But the abyss-song calls long and sweet
Under moonlight, a cool wind steals away the last arboreal breath

Recall not bowed, resigned faces
Nor browned stems and withered anther
Forget not the scent of joy
And the inspiring amethyst buds within

Amaranth in title only, alas
Wither, sweetest calyx
At dawn, your sisters shall weep
And noiselessly croon your lilac legacy
