Calm - 'My Time Is Near'

Soon enough, In the makings of Lila, And the growing happiness of the lamentable soul of Clementine, I shall be utterly transformed once again Imagine this! Can I not dream to become one of you? Can I not admire your grace, your reliance on each other, and things unseen, Your rebellious flair of which I know better than yourself, Can I not wish to transform—mind and soul—into such a beautiful form as you are? If not for the satisfaction of becoming three complete transformations, The relief from my agony will be my reward, To becoming flesh and bone… To becoming a human….and living in that limited lifespan consisting of both pains and joys To experience my midpoint…my dream of fulfillment… So then the circle of life will continue turning, And eventually lead me to immortality again, Hoping alongside God almighty that history will not yet again repeat itself

Ah, my dear Laura, you have treated me with these series to a quite interesting exploration of this subject with your genius of a mind. Henceforth, I shall have to be more aware of the wiles of the devil, so to speak! The eloquence with which you discuss the complexities in the mind of such an abhorrent creature is such of high caliber that I am astounded with the depth of your perception! I will have to go back to my readings from the perspective I am comfortable with, I'm afraid this has challenged some ideas.

I wish only to dip my feet into a different perspective, fused with my crazy imagination, and had to throw in a little Aristotle philosophy just because, why not? You are too kind...love you so much Kim! ~Laura

"with you genius of a mind"? You flatter me so much, Kim!!! You are such a supportive friend.. I thought one day, I'd really love to write in a demon's point of view - this is what became of it. Calm really is an odd demon, no? : )
