Foreshadowing

A poem for Ash Wednesday

forty-six sunsets before
Son's rising,
eyes see a foreshadowing

once Radiance beating down,
piercing Light,
now beams fade into darkness

all that brightness descending
below earth-edge,
trails of crimson in the wake

all the more breathtaking
do ash and dust make
Day's death
