Duet of Shards by Allyrianne

Merit for February 2016

Dawning comes with rosy hue,
and colour fills the sky.
I cannot help but turn from you,
wings spread that I might fly.
For I am a child of Trillillial,
and you are a child of Xyl
And you who cleave unto the ground,
will you ever know my thrill?

Dawning comes with hours anew
each day a gift of time.
The hours in which to learn are few
the world's secrets to divine.
For you are a child of Trillillial,
and I am a child of Xyl
And while you flit from land to sky,
I'll seek new secrets still.

Noon is here, the morn we saw
Time now to create.
Do you see in what I draw
the Truth of love and hate?
For I am a child of Trillillial,
and you are a child of Xyl
The wonder of the world is mine,
its beauty to distill.

Noon at last, I stand in awe
at truths that I still chase
and toil on to write the laws
that govern time and space
For you are a child of Trillillial,
and I am a child of Xyl
Eternity's power bows
to my unswerving will

Night falls, 'neath shadowed trees
this is but the start
I hope that you will come to see
the science of my Art
For I am a child of Trillillial,
and you are a child of Xyl
And we'll build a city of crystal
and together their dream fulfill

Night falls, sunlight flees
the stars take up their part
I trust that you will come to see
the beauty of my chart
For you are a child of Trillillial,
and I am a child of Xyl
And we'll build a city of crystal
and together their dream fulfill
