I Am Alpha
by: Me
The early morning sun will rise
Brightening the empty skies
The veil did singe with burning fire
Emitted from the Torrid Lyre
Vagrant to the void of space
Hadrons rouse an early race
Standing now where naught once stood
The burning veil becomes my hood
Passion breaks the cage of light
Forming first the sense of sight
Soaring as the falcon flies
It breached my hood and stole my eyes
Empty thoughts in reckless space
Have now become a crowded place
Soaked with fury, change is fast
Reckoning the forgone past:
Meager, basic, blunt and cold
The times of new expel the old
Burning bodies run the maze
Their will becomes the nights and days
The dark and seedy mass of land
Dust and soil, rock and sand
Will seek and trace, pursue and chase
The Torrid Lyre's warm embrace
And in this heat, the clouds are born
The twisting, violent, evil storm
As rain drops hurdle to the ground
Upon the rocks, their will does sound
Shaping all of which they touch
The world is shaped within their clutch
When all components settle there
The lightning rips its course through air
The impetus lies in the spark
Exciting atoms, protons, quarks
The legs of life are flying free
Propelling birth across the sea
In the light, I fade away
My time is gone, I've had my say
For Alpha cannot always be
The beginning's end has finished me
The early morning sun will rise
Omega watches with my eyes
