Death Bed
Ripples of sand under my foot, hurricane I stir.
From the cocoon of fire I break through
with the wings of a phoenix I fly
like a flash of lightening soaring into the sky
the roar of thunder god shatters the silver cloud
and in the glassy rain drops as they fall
my reflection pierces into my heart of hearts
losing sight of the truth I tremble and tumble
As a fallen star from sky in to the ocean I splashed
salty water gallons gulped sinking to the ocean floor
weeds and sea urchins made my death bed and
entangled bond with guilt were cut loose by the last breath
