Words From The Abyss.

I just died tonight

By : Fathers Beress T. Chipuka

Green leaves of spring dance on trees
Moving through the cool daytime breeze
I walked with ease across the dandelion filled field
Green grass, White flowers and blue skies
No cries with clouds scattered far from one another

Flower scents singing through the breeze
Trees dancing without cease
It was day but there was no sun
Regardless I made each seemingly endless day fun
It was day without the sun yet it was still day

I was leisure running through the dandelion fields
then every dandelion set alight on fire
The grass started burning
The trees started brunning
the birds all fell from the sky
They had died

The beloved land I walked upon started shaking
I looked down and saw a giant serpend's body at my two lonely feet
It rose up with a cobra hood, red skin and sharp fangs
my muted mouth opened
and In a moment I felt its giant head on my shoulder
Fangs taring into my skin
silence filled the air

I saw smokeless fire consume the world
Cold scales coiled around my body and fangs made holes where they could tarring the tender flesh
Darkness slowly stole my sight
Everything was burning
The sky without a cry finally turned black.
