LIGHT AND FIRE

LIGHT and FIRE

Midnight – I stand alone -
eyes bleed, flashes of
fire corrupt sight. . .
Limbs stiff - as if dragged
in time on frozen earth –
yet blistering skin.

Eyes stare – heads tilt, as
if to question a silence
inside my head - a strange
ringing – growing stronger,
my train of thought
degenerates.

No sound heard, or has one
been to taste fire on their
lips – beyond a crossing
upward near a mountains
peak. And, feel skin turn
cold, and pain disappears.

A distant ball of light
explodes – now few are
chosen to observe –
only those to hear
strange sounds of voiceless
chatter.

A space where earth opens,
- time stands still –
a world of many moons, and
darkness roars beyond a mere
flashing light.

Someone - will find me in this
forest.
