"Be."
It began with a command into the emptiness
Wakened from the abyss,
Suddenly self finds itself in the realm of existence
Silence
Buh-Boom
Confusion
The beginning of a question
Buh-Boom Buh-Boom.
What?
Silence
Prickly sensations as life is infused into this being
The vibration…
Buh-Boom Buh-Boom
of a pulsing phantom tearing through every inch--
Of what? Of self?
The beating becomes louder, faster, harder
As though it were about to break forth
From the cage that appeared around it
Body spasms as arms, legs, fingers, and toes make their presence known
Through the brutal assault of the senses
The roaring of raging wind,
The flash of soul consuming brightness
The penetrating cold,
And the blast of heat
Rocks, grass and dust join forces in the merciless
Onslaught of the senses on the skin
Searing light becomes scarlet darkness behind a veil of flesh
Incomprehensible fear approaches as the emptiness beckons to oblivion
All the pressure of the moment weighs down
Almost unbearable for this earthen frame
Pleading violently for the relief of release.
"I want to live!!!!" The body pleads
As hands grasp at grass, dirt and air
Trying to cling to this new found state.
A Mighty wind enters this congregation of flesh, blood and bone
And with a gasp, eyes are opened, chest heaves upwards,
And lips part to give way to a mind numbing SCREAM!!!!
Then silence. Then peace. Then knowing.
As he looked into the eyes of his Maker,
All questions were answered.
"Rule," came a voice from within
Without hesitation, Man arose,
Gazed at the horizon,
And walked confidently into the mist.
