Planet of Diamonds and Fire by Fariel Shafee

Is there a story
Stacked
In the
Tangled fiery
Vines

That creep onto the
Diamond shelves of this
Circling mass of dreams?

We landed
In our finely woven
Fiber
Gowns,
Broke down
What it breathed out
To make air for
Us, and we
Searched for
Hope.

Fiery tails, a
Golden halo, something
Stared at us,
Felt something
We did not know. Then it
Flew away into
That forest of

Unknown words,
Watched, decided, and
Spoke.

And we stood,
Wondering,
Scared, until a
Sparkling ball
Of awe
Drowned us in
A sea of fire that
Grew into a creature
That did not care
Just like
Space and
Time.
