Falling Gold

Lo, lo, and behold

A man crafted of gold

Snowy white wings

Bear him aloft

Beyond reach


Hands outstretched

To the golden rays

They melt the snow

From wooden frames

And down he plummets

From the clouds

To the waves

Without a sound


Alas! Alas! He cannot fly

The wind cries out in terror

The sun continues to shimmer and shine

Upon the now empty, quiet blue sky


The stars mourn for the shining gold

Now dead beneath the water

The vast expanses of the deep

Have rendered him asunder.
