lux aeterna

Like a dove, she coos and purrs.

A sweet, young thing

Untouched by our disease.

Her smile is a candle

With a burning, true flame.

Turn to us.

A smile replaced by a forced,

Cold flash of teeth.

Manipulating the world

Like a burning mountain molds the land

Destroys all in its wake

Yet still creating something new.

This child grows from the dead land

The stone contains minerals…

The things one needs for life.
