Stormbringer Hawk

Stormbringer Hawk


He comes.
Circles in the sky by a black dot, his shrill fierce call of danger to those around, a warning from a worthy opponant, as he slowly slices through the air and scatters others who immediately flee from him.
He makes one pass directly overhead, low and slow,  turns, and comes back the other way, a menacing lifeless eye trained upon me as he passes.

I nod slowly to him, a nod of respect, a nod of invitation.  He is a survivor and there is something admirable about that.  He flourishes in a life apart and alone.  There is something starkly beautiful about that, and him.  He lives the life he was born to, lives it in all its glory and abundance.  He has much to teach and I much to learn. 

But not this day. 

I watch as he turns, heading out into the wild blue of somewhere else, slowly receding from my view.

A burst of immense thunder invades the austere silence of the scene.  The air is thick and dark with danger.  I back up, out of the waters, until I am standing in the coolness of the sand.  In the blink of an eye, in the quickness of a breath, all has changed.
I feel him.
Like a sudden bolt of lightning that splits the sky in two, immediate and thorough, its job to tear the veil between the worlds of here and there.
A blade plunged into my heart with such precision that I only feel it when it is withdrawn.
Cut me open.
Gone as quickly as it came.
I do not know where.  Or how.  Or what.
He who brings the storms.
He who holds my future, but wants it not.
I keep bleeding.
He is the reason.
For this....for him....I have come.
I keep bleeding love.

Stormbringer.

 Comin out of nowhere
 Drivin like rain
 Stormbringer dance
 On the thunder again
 Dark cloud gathering
 Breaking the day
 No point running
 cause its coming your way
 Ride the rainbow
 Crack the sky
 Stormbringer coming
 Time to die
 Got to keep running
 Stormbringer coming
 Hes got nothing you need
 Hes gonna make you bleed
 Rainbow shaker
 On a stallion twister
 Bareback rider
 On the eye of the sky
 Stormbringer coming down
 Meaning to stay
 Thunder and lightning
 Heading your way
 Ride the rainbow
 Crack the sky
 Stormbringer coming
 Time to die
 Got to keep running
 Stormbringer coming
 Hes got nothing you need
 Hes gonna make you bleed
 Coming out of nowhere
 Drivin like a-rain
 Stormbringer dance
 On the thunder again
 Dark cloud gathering
 Breaking the day
 No point running
 cause its coming your way
