spirits move me

i am caught

in a whirlwind

of ambrosiac vapors

the essence

envelops me

i am lost

floating

sweet moments

of haze

i am dazed

drowning

i rise above the clouds

dreaming

bubbles burst

i fall

fall

below the clouds

beneath thundering waves

and

sky meets sea

i sink

beneath turbulent torrents

of reality

i grope

grasp

gasp

stars fall out of the sky

and

the heavenly flame is extinguished

i crave

the light

the warmth

only cold remains

dismal

i await

a fable, a myth, a dream

the phoenix

i await

you.
