They say the fire cleanses

That it purifies.

Then, cool fire, soft fire,

Cleanse and purify me.

Blanket my shoulders

And sing me to sleep.

Sing the fox to sleep

And let her rest

And the lives she has touched.

Sweet as honey, spiced with time,

You were me, and I you.

Aged to perfection, mellowed with the years,

I bless your memory.

You who were me,

I lay you aside to rest.

To over-age is to spoil,

And you are not spoiled.

Sweet mead to dance on the tongue,

Soft fox to dance through time.

Ever svelte and gray in summer.

I dedicate my life

Long passed though you may be,

To the east, I wash with air,

“We are not so different, you and I,”

Said the cat to the fox.

“We come from the same essence,
|

Two vintages from the same vineyard.”

“Our fur is soft and thick, true,”

Said the fox to the cat.
|
||||
“We are hardy, and weather cold.
|
||||
We travel, hunt, and survive,
|
||||
But my time is passed and yours begun.
|
||||
Go with my blessing.”

||||
“We are not so different, you and I,”

||||
Said the cat to the fox.
|
||||
“We come from the same essence,

Two children of the same eternal mother.”

See the world with new eyes,

Smell the air, taste bread and cool water.

Feel the earth beneath your paws.

Know the limits of your body,

And remember always this pain.

For you are truly born this day.

Out of the flames, into the light,

I rise, Makyo Uncia called Maddy.

Ranna, Astarael, Alopex,

When viewed through the lens of Makyo,
|

I am my own magnum opus.

Out of the flames, into the light,

||||
I rise, Makyo Uncia called Maddy.

Makyo Alopex sleeps now,
|

Not forever, but for now.
