On the Surface

I thought about eternity 
I felt it I tasted it
Smoke from the inferno 
Stung my eyes
Burned my throat 

Lightening flashes revealed 
Angels guiding my path

Through the tears

In the distant night
Stars shone brightly 

I exhaled my life
Like clear water
Filtered through limestone
Bluffs

Nourishing 

New

Life

On a planet far away
