Awakening

Awakening

Eyes snap open with a gasping breath
Air filling vacant spaces
Expanding the vacuum
Rushing cooly over the warm of deadly compression
The first breath is painfully taken
Never given back again
And the lonely echo
Of a solitary heart of stone
Once more grinding off the dust
And giving a weak, almost faint, tremble of delight
Before the dust cracks
And time falls off
And the chamber expands once more
The beat, dum dum, the drum
Dum, dum.
The heart beats again
The blood courses through once more
Pounding with expansion
Gurgling through hollow veins
Muscles trembling, flooded with red power
And the gasp comes once more
I am breathing, again...
My heart is beating once more...
My soul gathers together again
Like memories after a deep dream
My will and mind condense again
Trickle together within me
Pools and crystalizes into my soul
I bask here in the still darkness
And hear the sound of my life
The hearbeating
The veingushing
The muscletremble
My lungs expanding, burning
My breathing
Now, my will, once more is strong
No longer to dwell in outer darkness long
Eyes shut tight for oh so long
Caked with sleep and iron strong
Hear me now oh my dear dear eyes
Strength has returned
Open
Lead laced lids begin to stir
Pupils dance behind flesh veils with expectation
Lashes locked for long part at the seam
And tears form diamond-like at the corner of the tears
First, as with all things, there is light
But so I knew that my eyes were finally open
