 
Cycle
I have seen this pile of dirt and ash before. I have waited for the blistering winds of a merciless desert To become the winds of night that caress while coyotes howl. I have prayed that the wind will not scatter the ashes, For from them forms a garnet, a blood red gem of royalty. This will be my home, my mother's womb. This garnet nestled in a bed of ash will crack and shatter one day And I will break free, spread my wings, and soar into Heaven. I will have my moment of glory, my day in the sun, And like Icarus, I will fly too high, I will fall too far. They say the brightest flame burns fastest, So I know my moment will be brief.
