Empty and Full

Flicker a frightening hue
Something dark, deep and gone
Where nothing is something
And specks of gold and blue
Are royalty among the silver

Closer clouds storm stars and planets
Breath a breeze full of dust and lanterns
Open your eyes to something blinding
And something that has an empty might

Click together rocks and fire
Stunning to the obsolete viewer
And planning their demise
Bring a kite tail of power and fear
With a fist made of iron and beauty

Pity to those who are not able to see
Or who fall sick to knowledge
For above them are the Cosmos
And beside them the startling face
Of their brother the Moon
