The stranger crouched lower to the ground, and waited. He took a deep breath, and listened for the sounds of wings gathering their momentum. He waited, and waited, for the sound of the bird’s beak trying to pierce its way out of the dark, molten cracked mound. A smile did not form along his face. All he wanted to do was to complete his current assignment. He took another deep breath, and then slowly pushed his hands into the cracking ground. He felt the sudden cries of the souls from the other side, yearning to find their way back to earth. But he was not here to gather all these lost souls. Au contraire. His one task was to simply wait for the return of the one who would bring about a long era of chaos across the vast number of realms, kingdoms, including the villages in Ingenu. The bird cawed from the first taste of the rich, and dewy air. Storm clouds had seemed to stay all day as if they were shedding tears on behalf of the lost souls’ kith, and kin. The stranger who was dressed in a shiny silver coat bent a bit backward, and stared into the cloudy sky. Raindrops dripped along the sides of his eyes making it look like he had been sobbing all day. His hands reached for the bird’s throat, and he snapped it in two. Then waited, waited, and waited—until the bird cracked its neck- slowly turning its head back into place. The stranger now smiled like a Cheshire Cat, and vanished leaving behind a little present for the bird. There before the bird’s dark starry eyes stood a newborn. It cooed, and babbled. The bird flapped it’s wings, and merged its body with the baby’s own.

Go ahead and take a seat,

You can feel your heart beat

Adrenaline rush in your veins,

The fireworks explode in the sky.

Keep your eyes on me

Can't miss this last chance,

Time to the let the show go on

Then all of my circus amusements.

You see fire circling upon us

And flame out of my mouth,

You can feel the heat tonight

Life will burst you out of your seat.

Keeps your heart pumping

And clowns can do Juggling

To entertain you for nights

Left you with no words.

And men swallow sharp swords

If that's not enough?

Watch the canon ball explodes

Right thru your eyes.

You may Jump up and down,

You can feel on your soul

Don't ever closed your eyes,

And keep your Jaw wide open.

You see I whipped a giant lion,

As you watched his bare teeth

And the loud roar to my face,

But when you feel the sweat.

We'll leave you speechless

We can blow your mind away,

But chills run down your spine,

Welcome to my circus world.

My circus World.
