Fiery breath lights blackest night,
a ruby comet falling fast,
beating wings of dragon’s flight,
know this sight to be your last.
Like the clouds up in the sky,
part will live, part will die,
the lowest lows, the highest highs,
as the dragon shows its might.
Burning red a pulsing disc,
follows orange, and then the green,
rising force a willow wisp,
up the spine, remains unseen.
Now the blue and the violet,
opens up the unseen view,
overwhelmed by sinking silence,
bewildered mumblings, oft confused.
When at last the storm is over,
and the light comes from above,
note with awe the transformation,
dragon’s now become a dove.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
