The Saffron Tide

Lo!,
the storm is clearing,
light passes through clouds,
stairways to heaven,
bringing hope,
a chance of prayer,
on the wings of cherubs,
building unto choirs,
the chanting of the pure,
the bravery of saffron hued,

Alas!,
the storm is coming back,
the gathering darkness,
the chill of autumn,
the thunder of wraths,
the saffron tide turns,
the dissipating warmth of red,

Where is salvation?
