JAMES PHOENIX
forward by Glenn Riley
Time waits for no man until one man refused to wait for time.
Noted futurist James Phoenix saw the future.
Only to behold, it was a mirror smiling back.
You are only alone until you close your eyes.
We were not created to stand still,
and we will rebuild every last Delorean.
Reclaiming our brightest tomorrows as time alone stands still.

WHO AM I?
THE KING OF CUPS.
BALANCING THE SILVER AND THE GOLD,
THE FIRE AND THE WATER,
INTO ONE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS
ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.
"TEMPERANCE".
WHAT'S MY CONFLICT?
THE TEN OF PENTACLES.
BEHOLD!
THE TREASURE CHEST FULL OF UNWANTED GOLD.
THE TURTLE PASSES...
NEVER STOPPING NEVER SLOWING DOWN.
THE EMPRESS, MOTHER NATURE
WILL BALANCE OUT THE TIME.
WILL I MAKE IT OUT ALIVE?
I MUST DECIDE NOW!
THE PAGE OF CUPS.
STANDING BOLD
WITH A CHALICE MADE OF FOOL'S GOLD
MASKING EMPTINESS
WITH SHALLOWNESS.
YET I AM NOT THIRSTY.
I SEE IN MY MIND WHAT MAKES OTHERS GO BLIND.
THE TEN OF CUPS.
AN IMAGE OF PERFECTION.
PERFECTLY BALANCED,
PERFECTLY EXPRESSED.
I OPENED MY EYES
AND WAS ASTOUNDED
BY THE REALITY.
I ONLY HAD FOUR CUPS
AND WAS HOLDING ON SO TIGHTLY.
HANGING ON TO THE LIFE THAT I LEFT BEHIND.
I TRIED TO DIE
BUT THEN I REALIZED
THAT I WAS STILL ALIVE.
AND LIKE THE PHOENIX
I WOULD ONCE AGAIN RISE.
THE SUN THE MOON AND STARS WOULD ALIGN...
AND THE WORLD
WOULD BE MINE.
