• it was said, that upon the coming of age,
• that of the score and one,
• that I would leave this life,
• in the midst of the blaze, of the fires,
• of the phoenix, leaving the ashes to the winds,
• and it was said that unless the one,
• the one was there to prevent this,
• than I would be gone, and on another journey,
• but if this one was there, than,
• than I would be here,
• on borrowed time, the time of another,
• and that in the coming on the quarter century I would be gone,
• gone like the light, like most things,
• fading away into the night, into the sky,
• and than into the forever,
• upon the journey that might have been forstalled before.
