You can't have the puffy clouds
Without the worm-infested Earth.
Nor can you have the soothing warmth
Without the fire burning first.
...
You plunged forth from chaos
And emerged into being
When everything was one.
You fashioned my home
...
One bleak night,
In a candlelit room,
I began to compose a new song.
A composition of terror, of witches, of darkness,
...
Grasping at the burning dawn
Of a new ascendancy.
Yet one erected far beyond
The husk of eternity.
...
Within the drowsy halls of man,
The sacred winds may whistle through.
Which rustle leaves and scatter sands
And spread the scent of morning dew.
...
Beneath the splintering moonlight
And the flickering sense of unease,
A tide of her golden waters
Collapses on my heart, a sea.
...
No words are spoken,
But all is heard
In dreamlit oceans beyond sleep.
As form lay broken,
...
We chose the lesser evil,
And we got exactly what we deserved.
...
The thinking constructing this wretched tune.
Is the howling towards a shrouded moon.
As a bird soaring tender versus tarnished skies.
I cautiously ponder this boundless ice.
