Plummet
Your visage grows smaller and smaller
as i slip through the blinding darkness
a grain of sand through the center
of an infinite hourglass
that is why i let go, dear Father
Your face cut my veins
Your eyes burned my soul
so as a stag fleeing a fire
i sought to escape the inferno
desperate to avoid
the wolf of Your eyes
but why, Father, why do you pursue?
Your words a hunting howl
'no, loki, no'
i tried my best, i really did
for You, for Us, for the world
but i am the monster of nightmares
spark of light is quenched
by my brother's thunderous shadow
yet now as i plummet
i realize with joy
that for a moment
for this glorious, fading moment
You see me
