young dying god

his only arms against death
art and war
every form created
by mineral ore

meant to slow 
the face of day
but only the dark
chaseth time away

and so to grave
he sows his soul
back to soil 
to be made whole

child again 
from mother's womb
rise and conquer
from her tomb

unto us a babe is born
for our sakes
the curtain torn

but to the furnace 
with this soul
for in death is life
what's broken, whole
