i shall wake on a certain night,
calling out to find my soul.
the world around me waits
patiently for my command.

i walk slowly, silent.

and at the stroke of this moment-
on this date,
the world will stop.
time will reduce to nothing.
you will be here, once more-
awaiting my prophesy,
as time starts over again.

and, on this night,
a jet engine will crush your room.

Author's Note: pretty obvious movie reference; count the syllables per stanza- make sure i didnt mess up.
