I quiver alight with the feeling of freedom

And my wings are on fire as I fling myself into the sun

Maybe for the first time maybe for the last time

I breathe the living air and I feel it prickle on my skin

As moist clouds evaporate beneath and for a shining second

I am cool and calm as I collect my thoughts and they propel me

//

Beyond the skyline and upwards into the abyss I soar

As high as an eagle as the whirring thrum of metal

Screams into my ear that it is time to go and then I

Jump along another line of stardust floating

Across and above my world below an ever receding flat line

That faintly hums with the crackle of electricity not long gone

//

Grimacing as the polarity of my world reverses

I am pulled ever upward into the sweet surrender of

Sol his arms they beckon his rays raise my heart in prayer

A molten reaction starting at my fingertips consumes me

I rise as a phoenix even as my dreams are burnt into ashes

Ashes to ashes
