Salient Steps Part 3 of 3 (You May Go)
Iced earth
Boiled dirt
This fire flower burns
A light bright sky
Oceans lay dry
Colossus smoke
Cinder chokes
Burning grass
Planets of ash
Home at last
White hot suns
Flaming lungs
The soot of god
Moon dogs
Celestial lions
This kingdom is frying
Invigorating reality
Mystifying duality
The burning coals
Life's immortality
The salient step
No more climbing
The breath of death
Now I'm dying
Nothings left
Ether flying
Go on... go.......... gone

The details are interesting in their scope, but if you interspersed some more intimate images of loss, it would be more impacting. A child's tiny discarded shoe, the slow wend of a tear drop, a shadow standing over the silent stone of a tomb, the deep gulf of silence that pulls the air from the lungs of those in grief, etc. Nice work overall Elias.

Sound suggestions Daniel... thank you... really it was about capturing each line ... each step if you will... a short visit... simple yet different... I appreciate you taking the energy not only to read this... but to actually engage with it... ✌🔥

I looked at it like climbing steps... (not sure up or down) with a snipbit of information on each step... accumulated it as I walk and slowly digesting, to form my own conclusions....
