Fireball
Michelle Lee
The shatter of rocks bursting
The hot embers burning Lying there dying in a dream I am somehow at peace with leaving this place of broken things Ships throwing fireballs and people running Horns blowing and the dark ones coming As I lay there with my arms stretched out and bloody he called my name Inside myself I could hear nothing but a faint whisper of death Lying there my hands open my body weak he called my name again loudly I looked up and what did I see? A man on a black horse come to carry me My nightmare became dark suddenly There in the blackest of night a knight held an indigo light so I followed it down the path There before me an altar and bath The knight now nowhere to be found I sunk into the water and then I fell asleep sound Space and time flickered like a star A swirl of celestial air caught my breath I saw nebulas and angels fly In my dream this is how I die |
