Rise

And then I woke up. I woke up one day and everything was different, Finally there was colour again. - I could see silver in the clouds, Emerald in the grass, Topaz painted across the mountains on the horizon. Sapphire in the sky and obsidian amongst the stars. I was alive again. - This time I'll be better, My armour thicker, My wits sharper, My fists unscathed, My tongue poisonous, like the biblical snake upon the ear of eve. I am born again, I'll run each day, Train each day. I'll eat only the finer foods, For nutrition and not taste. All the while my mind will be honed, sharpened like a virgin blade. Chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics. I'll lay the stepping stones towards Valhalla, My path towards the übermensch. N.H.
