Separated

I can hear my heart pound steadily 
Pushing warmth into my limbs
My skin pin pricks in the cold night
I am burning in a cold fire
I've never felt more alive

It's different to be like this
to be separated from everything else
I do not have to hear the thrumming of the earth
I can be alive without being connected to it
Its dark, my life has always been dark
except for that warmth that soaked into my body
feeding me energy 
Almost every day it game 
first gently brushing the earth with its tips 
And then in longer steadier waves
with its coming  so came the word into my mind
light - I do not feel this light now.
