I.
You wanted answers, I gave you answers. You didn't like the answers, so you cursed me. Because you cursed me, I turned my back on you and blocked out the sun. In darkness, you banded together with your rebels and lit fires in the dark. You raised your sword against me. Still I did not turn to face you. You stabbed me in the back and I bled into the sea. I wept, causing The Great Deluge that drowned you. In death, you approached me, however timidly. You bowed down at my feet and wept. I forgave you. You asked for nothing more.

II.
The sun was weary, and the sky was cold. I asked God one question. I can't remember what it was. But He answered me. He said, "You have fire and water, a body and a soul. All your questions will be answered in time. Worship the sky if you must, or worship the earth. But know this, I have created greater things than these, that you have not seen. Does that make you afraid? It should. Good. Now take this kiss that I offer you. In it lies the secret to love. Should you forget, look at sun, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the earth. It will remind you, and you shall pass like a wind into wonderment.

III.
Bathe your breath upon these words. Your tongue is wet, and so are your eyes. You have longed for this moment since you welcomed the shadow into your house. Fire wants to know everything all at once, and thus, it destroys everything. Everything but water. Bathe in the water of these words. Answer the call to oblivion before it takes you for good.
