Preternatural 18
Fire's Army Eternal
Above, there in the sky
Hovering mystically slow
Fire upon the sky
Ascending and descending
Order in precession
Like souls awaiting judgment
Sad and sulking
Happy and joyful
Alternating all throughout
Circles perfectly round
Radiant and glowing
Spears protruding in a circle round
Forming that of a sickle
With a very sharp tip
As those of a Jester's cap
Some metallically bright
These are as blades
Coming to a point
Within the circle
On the half sphere
Are subdued faces
Encompassing the full
Expressions of content
And followed by sorrow
Ever rising to no extent
No particular aim above
In an arcing fashion
Constant movement
Never once stopping
Glowing all day and night
Life to defend
Marching here forever
Fire's army Eternal.
