Deep shadows fade
Red rock cascade
To purpled jade—
Sun sparks ignite.
Stone sentries stare
Sightless through air
At treadless stair
Spanning the height.
No mortals dare
Enter the lair
Or linger where
Spirit meets sprite.
This shrine of stone
And bleached white bone
Hides secrets shown
In the moonlight.
