Burn It Down

Through a curtain of smoke and light

Can I glimpse at his hall.

Man of grey presence,

Warmer than fire,

Greater than fate,

Older than time.

Feathers hover about,

A crown adorning his brow,

They hover like specks of dust

And cast moving shadows.

Many a worlds have his eyes seen,

Many a mountains and seas,

Much suffering and joy,

And countless crossroads.

Struck by awe I stand

At the feet of greatness

For he smiles upon me

And talks without speaking.

“Welcome are you,” says he,

“where the ancestors of mankind now feast.”

Saaya and Cleopatra have been courting for 4 years now and whenever they are together it’s a sight to behold. They live in India’s Kabini forest.

They are so beautiful.

& they have children together too!

Also, fun fact: Saaya means the ‘Shadow’
