Light of Life

Light of Life

In the focus of this endless heat,

the only thing I hear is your heartbeat.
As I take in the rays of the sun,
I realise the beginning of the end has just begun.

I am lost in this red, orange, yellow,
as I take in this wave of rushing light,
the warm water beneath my feet is shallow,
I close my eyes, embrace the feeling, a flash so bright.

Flickers of memories through my mind,

longing, hoping, desperation, all together,

I am caught in this entity, no emotions, no time, no weather,

a tear slips free, kissing my cheek so kind.

I open my eyes and all is black,

left alone in the cold, in a beating heart a crack,

the person I once was I mourn,

as a soft glimmer greets me when I am born.
