I came to rest under a pale moon/ I lay bathed in its silver light / the surrounding mud drying into a fine dust / freed by gentle wisps of wind / a delicate mist / tinting the light with ethereal red / glow / my eye was caught by a flicker of colour to my left / a single leaf pushing its way out of crust of earth supporting me / splitting into two and then four / multiplying its form into a perfect dome shape / flecked with autumnal hues /
it breaks free from the ground / and lifts into the air / slowly turning as it soars towards the moon / spinning and vibrating the air in a kaleidoscope of colours / the heavy crust / beneath begins to pulse / cracking as violent eruptions rend its surface / I gave a cry as the world fell out from under me / and plummeting towards the heat / I burned away in the fire ball/
