a ring of blue flame
around me, knee deep in the healing pool
as i float an arc of daggers fixed around my profile
it’s the armor i adorn
and in the flamewater
the stardancers surround me

suddenly i catch falling arms
falling down to earth, or within earth
freefalling in a void, i feel eyes
second nature without thought
soul outstretched, it has to
but i can’t see
and the glimpse fades in an instant

embraced by stars, i adorn this ring of blue
within this ring of blue
becoming this ring of blue
i look into the reflection and see everything
