Like three tears of fallen Lucifer
        who bore the light and lost it,
        three eagles shed their burden upon the waters.
        Angels leanned from Heaven's windows
        and cast unmeasured miles of wings
        into the firmament and onto its welcoming seas.
        God's vicar came forth from his inmost chambers'
        to benedict his prodical sons
        from the plaza of the holy rock.
        The tears of the world matched the ocean's waves
        as the weary voyagers were cradled on them
        in a fire forged basket like triplet Moses
        to be found by triplet Pharaoh's daughters
        and flown to the floating pyramid.
        They entered the crypt to be wrapped
        in merciful rest for a little while
        before being unwound and forced
        to sketch the visage of divinity.
