The Song is Sung

The song is sung, a stream ablaze, an oaken drum, the blood
Of flame. My cedar love, a chest aflare, aloft with tears, a
Tragic tare. But sage to heart, a lotic rose, the lure of light, a
Silent scroll. My ache aspark, my dark aflight, my lambent
Soul, my sightless night: The earth is gold, adorned in silk,
A symbol song, a tear to tilt. And candent art, a perfect pain,
The prayer of life, the flight of flame. My gravid kiln, a
Godly graph, the gift of God, a granite raft.     

The song is sung, a stream ablaze, an oaken drum, the blood
Of flame. My nib to pad, a precious prose, a spirit flare, a
Grackle soul. And wisdom fair, a saintly sight, a passion
Swirl, the ash of light. My hearth aflame, the grounds of God,
The gears of love, a feyic rod. Thus the vision, a velvet
Dream, a violet tear, a candent scene.   

Sage: a wise soul; a master of spirit.
Lotic: the movement of water; a stream.
Lambent: of light or fire flickering softly.
Candent: to emit light as a result of beating heated, such as Moses’ face glowing when he came down from Mount Sinai.
Gravid: filled to capacity with flame.
Kiln: a furnace.
Nib: the tip of an ink pen.
Grackle: a type of songbird.
Hearth: the floor of a furnace/fireplace.
Fey/feyic: otherworldliness and the awareness thereof.

Hi Glenn,  this was so much more fun with the glossary.......I am still just venturing here but seems that this is referring to the spark of inspiration a writer gets when in the throws of creating a new song..........when you take your nib to pad and flames and light of inspiration are all in play and all come together to create a "candescent scene".  Or maybe it's just what I saw because I'm a song writer.......regardless, I still enjoyed this very much........you never cease to amaze with your ability to flow.........smiles.........tony  xx
