THE APOCOLYTE SPEAKS

__________________



I am the Apocolyte.

I have awakened at last, and my fiery eyes pierce the darkness...
As I emerge from my slumber I remember, and I know I must speak. I am the Apocolyte.


I am the shadow that rolls slowly across the ground and disappears.
I am the gentle breeze that blows softly across your face.
I am the new-born babies cry.
I am the flame that burns forever, consuming all that dare invade my path.
I am the bird that soars high overhead, gliding on the wings of the night.
I am the molten lava that threatens to burst forth violently, and scorch the brazen earth.
I am the quiet rain that falls passively upon the scorched and smoldering ground.
I am the sprouting bud that pushes ever upward, having escaped the lonely prison of seed shell.
I am the cat, toying with it's prey just before eating it.
I am the Grave, cold and dark, motionless and horrifying.
I am the whisper that shatters the unbreachable walls of secrecy.
I am the Apocolyte.
I am all these things and more.
I am God's perfect creation, and my soul houses Deity, my unworthy eyes have glimpsed eternity.



I am the Apocolyte, and the time is near.
That is all, for this moment.
The Apocolyte has spoken.
