Ancients

a thousand sheddings

of my skin

finally

brought me into

the trajectory

of the maze

zooming

between

humanity's haze

ancients call to me

wanting to be set free

to fly along the wind

to swim in the azure sea

rising from my soul

they scream for release

in my blood they flow

the ancient songs of old

I brave their feircesome cold

to step

where they have stepped

a millena ago

primal drumbeats

deafen me

all around

their ghosts I see

rising from

death's black sea

imparting their wisdom

to those who seek (C)MJR
