The Stage

The engulfing darkness, the dissolving lights;
The spinning planet, the blazing sun;
The surging oceans, the roaring waves;
The thundering skies, the rumbling grounds;
The stretching deserts, the shining sands;
The flowing rivers, the rising tides;
The changing seasons, the emerging colors;
The blossoming flowers, the buzzing insects;
The thinking mind, conquering all;
The spinning ideas, the blazing furnaces;
The surging speed, the roaring wheels;
The thundering passions, the rumbling motors;
The stretching possibilities, the shining alloys;
The flowing wealth, the rising sky-scrapers;
The changing needs, the emerging technologies;
The blossoming fashions, the buzzing mills;
The engulfing lights, the dissolving darkness.
