Five Locks

Five Locks

black
surrounding
stars slowly fade
into the void where
they reside.

a crack
begins to form
tearing light across
a faded dark sky.

night dies
the sun has begun
its slow rise.

golden rays
bend wicked shadows
along every edge.

five locks
intertwining forces
with a rise to rapid
flowing red cast light.

warms the soul
bathed in one star's light
only a couple of moments
breathe light so vibrant.
