The One

Deep in the closest recesses of my soul

You chose

To show me your Self. 

As we stood above the rolling heaths beneath a louring sky;

I did not know

What lay beyond those fire rimmed clouds 

Nor what lightning would rain destruction on the battlefield below. 

My sword languishing,

Unable to spill kindred blood.

“I won’t!” I could barely whisper.

And then,

Your insidious voice seized my skull. 

All of space and time  shattered behind my eyes. 

Through shards of intergalactic ice piercing my mind,

You voice echoed

In a tremendous roar down the barren caverns of my soul.

“You can’t.

That which eternally and over again, 

Creates and destroys in endless cycles.

I am the One.”
