A throbbing beat of tropic drums
In sunlight spectrum split on the horizon
Wakes a mysterious green light under stars.
A voice sliding over light glinting
Off the western sea edge, remembers
Friends riding the sparkling edge of earth.
Scattered hither and yon the friends
Like flower petals on wedding paths
Gaze on a passing era conclusion.
Our green light sinking sun slips
Into the rising wind over eyes
Catching final moments of days.
A yearning holds our calm pledge
Inviolate against the way
Anchored in ancient origin.
