LegacyA Poem by Elizabeth La
Will I die tonight?
If you are so inclined to strike me dead, I will go willfully. But if you leave this soul to venture forth To visit palaces, I will stand beholden to your everent grace and move forward. If you leave this soul to venture Earth, To know no place but a place of her own, I will reign these palaces and iron thrones, For until God strike me dead, until any further notice, I will make history. My name will leave ashes strewn across the garden steps, and corpses of my enemies be riddled at my feet. I will die knowing that all of God's plan for me has come into fruition in the body of a young woman. I am death and I am death's final wishes, saying goodbye to the eternal moment. There is a song sung in my name. In ancient languages no longer listened to. Because time is my companion to make things right, I will be everything you asked of me. God strike me dead, because I am ready. I am ready to lose everything, and nothing. The ultimate sacrifice. Letting go. Life bids you farewell at heavens gate. I know you, too, answer to the same name. And your voice will speak my name softly like the whispers of the wind. Friend, I have come again.
