Proelium and Honorarius

Here am I gazing into the Sun
The world is awash in flames
My eyes cry crimson tears
So I jump
Exploding through the atmosphere
Cleaving clouds in two
Higher and higher
Faster and faster
I scream
Yet no air to breathe
The universe is calling
Yet no one is listening
Higher and higher
Faster and faster
I come breaking through
Into the darkness called space
And behold the glory of creation
My mind is silenced
No words to speak
Onwards I speed to my journeys end
The sheer brilliance overwhelms my faculties
I am moving faster than light
Yet with each new glimpse
Time stands still and suspended I become
Entranced by the radiance of each second
For each second is a life time
Being played out in shafts of light
The memories pour forth
A kaleidoscope of sound and picture
Beginning to end
Wave after wave
Ecstasy to sorrow
And everything in between
Here I stand
Here I fall
Naked I came into this world
Naked I depart from here
I see myself
My failures
My accomplishments
Innocence lost
Innocence restored
A shooting star blazing across this midnight sky
Higher and higher
Faster and faster
I speed to an end
To begin again
Here am I gazing into the Son
