I was visited by the power and the glory. I was visited by a majestic hymn. Great bolts of lightning lighting up the sky. electricity flowing through my veins. I was captured by a larger moment. I was seized by divinity's hot breath. Gorged like a lion on experience. powerful from life. I wanted all of it all of it. all of it not some of it. All of it all of it. not just some of it but all of it. I saw a man turn into a bird. I saw a bird turn into a tiger. I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of his toes. in the jungles of the Amazon. I saw a man put a redhot needle through his eye. turn into a crow and fly through the trees. Swallow hot coals and breathe out flames. and I wanted this to happen to me. oh I wanted this to happen to me. I wanted all of it all of it. all of it not some of it. All of it all of it. not just some of it but all of it. cancer reduce him to dust. We saw the moon vanish into his pocket. we saw the stars disappear from sight. We saw him walk across water into the sun. while bathed in eternal light. We spewed out questions waiting for answers. creating legends religions and myths. Books stories movies and plays. all trying to explain this. I wanted all of it all of it. all of it not some of it. All of it all of it. not just some of it but all of it. I saw a great man turn into a little child. the cancer reduce him to dust. His voice growing weak as he fought for his life. with a bravery stronger than lust. I saw isotopes introduced into his lungs. trying to stop the cancerous spread. And it made me think of "Leda And The Swan". and gold being made from lead. The same power that burned Hiroshima. causing three legged babies and death. Shrunk to the size of a nickel. to help him regain his breath. And I was struck by the power and the glory. and I was visited by a majestic Him. Great bolts of lightning shooting up his veins. as the radiation flowed through him. He wanted all of it all of it. all of it not just some of it. All of it all of it. not some of it but all of it. .
