Blazing Trees - Rafael Block
You only have to see
the blazing sunset through
the trees to be
in that dazzling presence
and catch a voice saying
"take off your masks!"
With a clatter they land
all around, but you barely
notice because the fire
in your heart is bursting
toward the bright glow
on the horizon.
And when its' last
glimmering rays are gone-
from human sight-
you're left with a gateway
that will open
even in your dark hours.
