Dying Young

 Clouds like ragged breath

Agonized souls

Wasteland of fatigue

Dark insensible beasts

Savage howls of the wind

The allure quickens my blood

From the sea to the sea

Rituals weigh my ankles

Light is failing

Beginnings and endings

Deadly magic

Drums is my heartbeat

Ruthless

Indestructible

In a flash

The drums stop

The wind stills

Endings and no beginnings

The pyre glows

From embers to ashes

A pocket watch

Stops ticking

Time is still

Silent

Blowing like a hurricane

A thud quickens my heart

The sun and the moon are

Jewels in the evening sky

And they return to me
