Weep.
Weep, weep for those,
Us, who are born
Of the darkness,
The shadows,
And who lift their-
Our-
Wondering eyes to the light,
The light,
And who,
In the end,
The very end,
Must once again
Return
To the Shadows.
Cry, cry for those
Who seek solace,
Comfort,
Consolation,
In the light,
The Day.
The blessed day.
Who lift their eyes,
Their tired eyes,
Daily to the light
In hopes
That the light
Will never forsake them
If they do not
Forsake
The light.
Who fly up
To the sun
Soulfully, on brittle little-bird wings,
And who fall,
Fall down
Upon the roads.
Fall down
Once more
Upon Night's dark roads.
But the light
Will always forgive
Those who
Forgive
The light.
Cry, cry for those
Who seek solace,
Comfort,
Consolation,
In the darkness
The Shadows.
The blessed shadows.
Who rest their eyes
Their tired eyes
Tired from the light,
Tired from the fly,
Tired from the fall,
The dread fall,
In the darkness.
Hiding from the light,
Turning from the light,
Leaving the light,
Embracing the darkness.
The soothing darkness,
The restful darkness.
And the darkness
Darkens the blood
The soul,
Releases the soul
Into the night sky
Lit by Nuitari
Only Nuitari
The Dark One.
The shadows, the darkness,
Shrouds them,
Veils them,
Hides them,
Embraces them.
Forever,
Eternally.
Let tears leave your eyes
For those,
Us,
Us all,
Who are mortal,
And,
No matter weather we live
Our lives in light or shadow, or both–
Eventually, we all
Must someday return
To the darkness.
Soooooo . . . what do you think?
Good? Bad?
This struck me while I was reading the Soulforge and the part about 'for all those who lift their wondering eyes to the light and must return to darkness' really got me thinking. What do you think?
Danke.
