Locked in the mind of chaos,

Heart enchained so splendidly

That it fails to live; drawn deep

Into the abyss, his ecstasy-laced wings

Can only slow his downward slope.


Wind blows through his hair;

He is lighter than the feathers

Keeping him aloft in air, sinews stretched,

Skin pulling screams with an echo

That reaches the bottom but does not rise.


As he descends, the hole becomes

Still darker, and the vanishing

Light above becomes ever brighter;

But when the time comes for barbarous

Repentance, will Prince Michael rise again?
