Reflections of the sky absorbed in a sort of liquid shroud,

hiding all the creatures, melted rock like decayed cloud.

enriched with snakes and birds of prey, the tones of colour from the earth,

locked forever in the where !

Knowing change was on its way, would there be a sun again ?

That was the day the light went out and all the land was swallowed by the rain
