Royal Radiance
Royal radiance of translucent jade
By studying how to digest and breathe
Interpreting this insular crusade
Amidst the feared bowels of the underneath
Royal radiance of sacral onyx
By accessing the blessed through the mundane
Surfing on magma like plate tectonics
Consecrated and shaped like an otane
Royal radiance of the covenant
Following laws of an out-of-date past
Like an ancient orthodox revenant
Triumphing slowly with an aura aghast
Grim decadence of stone reverence
A few moments of royal radiance
