From the fire you were born, into fire you shall return |
A circle of eyes surround the fire Silently watching the flames Dance Lick Curl Crackle Pop Embers shoot out like fireworks They spark momentarily before dissipating Into the air, becoming black ash. Like dark snowflakes They line the ground Outside the fire and within it's core. Smoke tendrils swirl together gently They become images Past Present Future - - - The darkness illuminates the shapes formed By the tips of the firelight. It's so hot it burns away the flesh The pain The darkness held within. The pictures above try to spell something out, but It's always on the edge of slipping away Into uncertainty. Like a ghost, it passes me by I feel the burning cold. A gentle caress to let me know I am never alone. I sit and watch it all burn in silence. With all the eyes of the world upon me. I watch it all slip away A hole opens up beneath me Swallows me whole. Falling into a pit of nothingness, But still I am calm. Falling to my doom Marching towards my death. I can't stop it I don't know how Anymore I can reach out, But there's nothing to grasp Anymore. I'm all alone. Not even a shadow In the pure darkness now. I sit on the stone cold floor and ponder in silence. I long for the fire. |
