Recorded poem + choral backing: "The Grey of Day"

# The Grey of Day Pours Out On All the Earth

The grey of day pours out on all the earth;
The saltless tears of sky begin to break
The spirits and the smiles of all who wake
In mornings glued to dreams of better birth.

The sky applies the pressure of its dearth—
Allows the cleansing sadness (like a lake
Upon the broken bottles madmen make)
To bury all the false and hollow mirth.

But oh! the green revives from water wept
And yellow light now shows itself for gold,
While prism aura sheds its diamond rays.
And all the darkest shadow that has crept
Its way into the open—brazen bold!—
Is tidal wave succumbed in world ablaze.
