*****
The Breath of Change
The ancients knew
And passed to few
A shepherd’s warning
Of impending doom
Crafted for man
A gift of sea and land
Lit by flaming star
With a finite plan
Though it still burned bright
Even through the night
The chance was wasted
By man’s lack of sight
Now far too late
To reverse their fate
The gift was revoked
With a sigh most great
