When the sun dissolved
Beyond the end of horizon
Of the dark forest.
I saw her running to catch
At least, an ounce of Gold
That it spread across the blue...
She ran, leaving the cool breeze,
The shadowy blanket
And the calm, green embrace.
Little did she know that
She didn't need the sun,
Cause she herself had been
Eating fire since she was born.
