I am in the stone body.
I lay in the sarcophagus of the Ancestor. I lay in the body of the Ancestor so that I am the Ancestor and I am not. The rain of wisdom raises my fears as I embrace the touch of the First Darkness; and though time and space are within the words of man, I am traveling beyond those places to know those who came from the First Space. No longer am I looking out through their spawn. I awaken as a flame from the Greater Flame. Star born awakens. Star born descends into me as time is bent to my will. Now, I am walking the corridors of time seeding myself like an eye into events to be infinite among the finite so that the darkness from beyond will not bind me forever in its mental rants and keep me as a Sarcophagus. I walk among the humans as a transient passenger as a wanderer, as a shaman; and as I speak with them I am not touched. I weep when I ask them, "Where is their light?" Those who see me lay in me. I am the Sarcophagus; and they begin their journey into the ways of Wisdom. I became Death to know Life. |
