Nephilim

Today I went over the falls.
It was a beautiful plummet.
Do not mistake my descent for tragedy.
In the cold water I was purified.

Baptized.

Made to realize.

That angel wings are human things.

And mine own, though tarnished, are still there.

The spray of mist was magic.
A thousand raindrop worlds.
Reflected so perfectly before my eyes.
Until I hit the rocks.

Broken.

Made to understand.

That pain is also a human thing.

And mine own, so much like many others.

Will pass.

*quiet applause* Lovely working of the Nephilim tale. The first line is absolutely fantastic; exactly right, yet you managed to express it in a new way. An elegant, dignified and all-around excellent write.
