salt's water

the desert leads to the water

where man took his first breath

i am back, the water lapping at my feet

i wash my face with the water of age gone by and the fall of mankind

my reflection is haggard, and i am weary

i take my shirt off that has seen many winds

my skin is white and tattooed ; my wings black like onyx come blazing out the pain is comforting and freeing

i wade in the water, the rush of man comes onto me, and the waves baptize me

i fall backwards, submerging myself

felt like i was in the womb again

" the end of days is coming"

the sun 's heat beats on me like a violent crime

i have shed the water of man

to walk the city, waiting for the full circle

cities have crumbled, the world is no more

mankind has returned , because they could never be more then what was expected

i stand in the middle and wait

wings spread,welcomeing with open arms

the fire that comes, i let devour me, i take a deep breath

disperse, with a self destructive smile

all i remember is that i am back in mother's womb

i have to end to begin ------to end to begin

the unknown changes me ,again

dreams are the past and the future

i open my eyes, the visions were powerful

the water has become cold and unwelcoming

i iook up towards the sky

my question answerd before i could ask

i dress and pack up, to walk again

the water oracle has told me , the end of days is near , and my sacrifice is emmitted

i will burn like a beacon until i am no more
