A Soul's Offering

Dark begat light
I was here before you
I will be long after

When I shed these bones,
the roots will drink me up
your lungs will breathe me in
my lightning will fill the sky

Oceans of blood, mountains of bone
Cliffs of teeth, soil of flesh
Trees of hair, clouds of mind
This is what I will be
when I return to dust

Heaven will fill my head
with the spark of the sun, moon, and stars
