"I've been brought down to my knees. And I've pushed way past the point of breaking. But I can take it. I'll be back. Back on my feet. This is far from over. I am far from over. You haven't seen the last of me. You haven't seen the last of me"

Slipping through my fingers
The tiny grains of life
A they slowly fall to my feet like a thundering rain

Hearing the cries of those in need
To touch
To love
To be free of their eternal curse

A soul wanders around me. Glowing
Glowing
Brightly...it's white light of death
sparkling

The light reaches out as it touches my shoulder
And with a shiver, the remaining of sand
Drops
More cries of need

I cannot control it
My feet move
To the mirror of who will be a grain of and next
I look
I see myself
