Literary: Night's Dying Glow

He glows
Indeed, he radiates
A soft soiled yellow glow

His veins resonate
Rays of light
That just glow
Within the walls
Of his own body

Come, look closer
Tread your gaze
Along the directions that go
Against the current
Of the rays

There your eyes will reach his center
Where you'll realize
That the rays come from
A now intangible source
Surrounded by a hollow space

You might ask,
"Why is it that his heart's empty
When he is given such
An honorable role?"

Now, that's exactly why he's empty

He has expend a huge fraction
Of his light to guide others
He has devoutly done his job
Of pulling the tides
To meet the favor of others...

Until he drowned
His heart
With his own gravity

Now
You can still see him glowing
Yet
Fading in a rate
No one regards
