Spires of light
Reaching up from below
Through dark water, fog, gravity, pain

Droplets of flame
Falling from the sky
The heavens crying, dripping tears like rain

Somewhere, darkness holding all that glows
Like the earth holding seeds
Like coals holding embers ready to reignite
At the first sign of kindling
Bursting into the air in an inferno
That's been buried for far too long

And here, the light rises
The rain falls
The night sky is illuminated
The columns of aurora light hold strong

Pillars of crystalline forms
Standing, not sinking
Pulsing, breathing
Alive
