Ruin, Rules, and Reincarnation

Heat was always a friend of mine

It helps with my thoughts and my movements

I was fast, on my toes and a warrior in the sun

Reckless and full speed into danger

Winds cut up my feet and shoulders, and I would smile

My God, when did it rain?

I saw the cliff, I thought I could jump

I broke my shoes, my laces flew off of me

just how was I smiling through it all?

Then I hit the shore, breaking my bones, sinking into the sea.

Flowers were following me

My spirit, my heat, where did you go?

The salt oozed into my skin

My heart stopped

I didn't breathe anymore when I was in the rush

I sank under the water, entering new realms

Not by choice, I drown with the naive here

And in the depths I was with mysteries and the cruel floor

Learning to float and letting go of my legs

Acting in the moment rather than looking at the sky for plans

Paint with moon, let my blood run into this floor

Beauty, Pain, and Patience

I will be one with the sun once more

Or it will be the end of everything I once was.
