Anya

1
emerald and purple
my beacon in the blackness
onward hand in hand
2
we mine the dark mire
seeking veins of paradise
together we stand
3
and when the sun sets
the last evening arrives
we become the land
4
then our lives return
to the planet now reborn
rising from the sand
5
molecules binding
the final cycle ending
as one we dissolve
6
the final return
life's penultimate swan song
a compound echo
7
as the light fades out
memories merge together
contented we sleep.
