A silver sickle hangs suspended,
Sharp against velvet black—
Its pearlescent curve
Beckons to earthbound souls below.
Honed edges slice through starlit fields,
Where cosmic wheat sways silent,
Each grain a distant sun
Waiting to be gathered.
The blade, both guard and reaper,
Cuts through darkness like frost through morning—
Its gentle radiance
Sweeping shadows aside like chaff.
When the harvester rises,
Stars scatter like seeds,
And night yields its bounty
To the ancient gleaner above.
