Entering forgotten sacred grove. Before all; make sacrifice. Waterskin filled with tears. Empty gift into stream. Become one; adjacent of Mother. Kiss a leaf; covert fiber to ash. Watch soot animate into air. Luckily, favour is bestowed. Invigorated, gaining great perception. Seeing each foot step illuminate. Prints of fiend and foe. Auras of silver; some of gold. Pulsing, accompanying each beating heart. Lurk further, if not weak of mind. Footing becomes treacherous. Heels; weakened of frailty. Parka too heavy. Shedding skin, turning hope. Colors looming; fading in, some out. Fatiguing, yet desperate. Swimming up, deprived oxygen. Vines trip, knotted at ankles. Trailing honey, scented guide. Climbing higher, vision enduring infection. Picking, chewing, freeing the whole apparatus. Light reflects from above. Tainted, the hand sinks down. Grasping, something of power. Sensations overflow. Reality checks within. Preciously ending. White hands, angelically caress. Bleeding no more. Mending all wounds. Awakening the fire. Around pit, peers cheering. Rite of passage endured. One with nature, little child. Flesh, bone, soot, ash, fiber. Boy evolves to man. Wonderous joy.
