Upon the blue mountain I stood,
Upon the mountain as he sank into the Rivers of Night:
The camps of the clouds in the heavens were shining with evening fires, many-colored,
And the pools on the plain below gleamed with many reflections:
All things were made precious with the Day's last ray.
Farewell, my Father, the Shining One!
Farewell, whither thou goest,
Like an aged chieftain adorned with the splendors of many deeds!
Thou dost touch the world with many reflections,
With parting injunctions many —
Thy thought thou hast given us.

This gave me the image of throwing a mirror into a water on concrete and watching all the little rainbows surface. I don't know why this piece gave me that image but it did.
Of course it's a farewell of sorts, but is it hollow or serene? I feel serene.
A good piece by this Anonymous writer.
