Eli T. Mond
Voluntati Ignis
I had a wish some time ago
To walk the skies with ancient spirits.
I threw that wish into a flame
On the back of a murky whisper.
Moments made of silence, bar
The crackle of the pyre, passed
And every ember gave to me
A brilliant incantation.
It was as if the fire and I were one.
It’s times like these, beside that flickering force,
When I ponder my lineage.
I wonder if I am I a child of the fire
Or if I was I born of the darkness it conquers?
