Spirit Fire

Snow falls,

She's looking up..
Looking beyond.

Seeing something,
Deep,

In the dark night air,
Beyond
Where the snow starts.

Music plays
In the background
Enchanting the fire
And inducing flashes...

Flashes.
That tremble and shake this earth...

And her knees bend,
Almost buckle,

But they don't.
And she stands,
Facing...

Facing the dream before her...

Entranced by the fiery visions
She straightens back up,
Face a glow,
Enraptured...

Getting lost...

Sirens
In the distance.

Life and death,
Trace the outline
Of the smoke ablaze
Carrying her soul to a distant place,

As if she is lulled
By a call,
No other in her forest may hear,

With spirit ears,
She heeds something,

Allowing it to enchant her soul and lull and lull
Until she walks
Into the Vortex calling her...

Sirens in the distance..

Calling her...

But these
Are the sirens
Of The Earth God,

And THIS
Is the initiation before her.

She turns,
One last time to her tribe,
Wondering if the beckoning is summoning the others...

But she turns back,
Facing the Vortex...

Seeing,
It is only her,
Where she stay...

That the spirit of the night
Only beckons of her name,

And she realizes,
Her place has never been

Amongst them.
And so

She turns,

Saying goodbye to no one,

Realizing,

She is on her way to meet the destiny she was born
For.

The snow falls.
The embers a glow.

And it is quiet in the forest.
And the Earth will wake,

In peace,
For her child
Has returned home.

And they will search,
Brazen...

And the shaman will pick up the ground,
Where she stood, just lifetimes before,
And
The legend will be known.

Ariel

Went home.

For she,
Is The Lion
Of The Earth...

And it has been her time...

Finally,
The time,

For her
To return.

Back home..
Once more;

The call..
Beckons.
