The beast inside me raged
The spilled blood spoke
Death is merely a change
A greater voyage
Into the heart of fury
A bird cage opened in my chest
The trapped Phoenix has flown away
From the ashes of my dreams
From my unraveling mind
My cries made the stars bleed
My mind summoned flames
Kneeling in the snow
I extinguished my fire
My breath came out in white wispy clouds
Voices soared on the wind
Spoke of
sacrifice
Spoke of light and dreams
A mausoleum to vanished world
I found my voice
Whispered shadows became an image
I was a child again
I untied my hair
It formed stardust
Did not feel the cold any more
For I was Fire
I was Fury
I was flame
And I was burning
in the moonlight snow
