Allude
Tell me about something ancient and mysterious. Write vaguely; hint at a larger or deeper form/meaning without outright explaining the subject.
Miriadi di Angeli
Veiled vestibule’s trumeau;
Silvered staircase stretches land
Songs of ocean waves echo
Dove’s tears lap ashen sand
Strength, bound ancient deity;
Silk threads tuft plumage gowns
Shading earthen treasuries;
White satin, gathered clouds
Guarding nest and sparrow;
Celestine, enshroud’ by eve’
Pronouncing peace to peril;
Utterance of destiny
Reflecting light of beryl
Eyes engage love’s mysteries
Piercing vanes as arrows
Hover o’er humanity
Fluttering, as gilded leaves;
Sweet chariot’s ascent
Between time and eternity;
Aloft, midst heaven’s scent
