my skin turned darker
from the sun blazed window
reasuring me that I was
just a simple lad.
it burned through my eyes
taken the color out
making me see in contrast
though all of the world is.
it fried my hair off
making me naked and pure
so I could feel the slightest
breath of a humming bird.
it ignited my skin
freeing me from this earth
letting me soar on high
the afterglow of humanity.
to float amongst the winds
gathering my last few ashes
freeing them for a trip
upon which I crave to see.

Freeing oneself to feel such emotion, to reach those levels, is wonderful. As is the writing.

*shivers* What a great post!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...
