I-My Sacrifice

I lay prone
Sprawled out on the slab
My heart about to pound out of my chest
With arms tied and legs bound
My pulse raced.

Beautiful chanting
Prayers and offerings surrounded me
Steel blades glistening in moonlight dancing past my eyes.

All sounds of nature
Gave way, hidden from this night
Tears and moans of the angels distant as they prayed
Helplessly on their knees at the side of their god.

The fires rose up
The dark ones came forth
Rejoicing and shouting toward the heavens.
They kissed the dust from my naked body
Purified my soul preparing me for their master.

All voices one together and exact
Speaking the language not blessed by man.
His powerful presence conjured from the body of man
Spit forth in the form of thunder
Larger than comprehension
More powerful than all the dead that are alive
He came to the followers
Kissed each of them on this night.

My gift decided
My lifes blood his to be spilled
Gathered from the slab
Chalices shall raise
Voices shall raise
As the blade falls to my chest
My motionless heart held high by human hands
Dancing and rejoicing climax.

My blood flows through the bodies
My nakedness now startling to man
As they cut the ties binding me to my tomb.
Fear and upset enters their bodies
They don't understand
But just by finding me this way
A seed has been planted
They question how this could happen
What sort of people do such things.

The angels sing a mournful song
Tears sprinkling to the earth
My body carried away
They are saddened at this sight
Knowing another living soul has been intrigued today.

Curiousness of man
Creates curiousness of man
As he leans toward the dark.
Until another body lay upon a concrete slab
Waiting to give a gift away.
