Close your eyes,

Remember this:

The white hot rainbow that shattered in the sky

And the shards of molten glass

That rained down on our bowed heads

From the smoky clouds that smoldered above us;

Remember the pain

Of the fires that set in the palms of our hands

The struggle of the children to understand the searing colors

Of the hell that fell from Heaven

Twisted, distorted into blazing, glistening knots

Bringing a burning salvation.
