This short fic was written in 2000, between chapter of The Die Is
Cast. It remains wholly unaltered, and represented to a new
audience.
Please enjoy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, before I write the next chapter of The Die Is Cast, I just had
to write this little work. Be aware that all of my work can tie
itself together if it is read in the correct order. This should come
after Chapter 4 of The Die Is Cast, but is also a pretty nice
standalone fic.

*********************************************************************
My eyes can see what my heart can feel,
But the feelings lost will never I find,
For true are those that ne'er one can expell,
And false are those that can one leave behind.
**********************************************************************
The azure sky floats behind my toppled figure as a dove on the coldest
winter's day. Am I broken, lost, and saddened to extent known only to
those unraveled by love's cruel hand.
The bluest eyes gaze about me, as I stand here on my altar. Ready to
receive judgment passed by some unknown jury within myself. Floating
in perpetual limbo, I stare at the calm of the spectators.
The notes of my life's symphony, all gathered to see my end, or new
beginning, as my soul shall soon judge. Played out, making a mediocre
opus. Each note as its own, is pitiably worth more than their
arrangement.
Love lights a lamp for me, as my heart looms in darkness. In depth
of angst, and mirth of pain, my tender soul hangs in the balance of
something far beyond its own control. I am the sinner that hath
placed tenderest of souls in its current resting place, and I shall be
the one to endure its damnation.
The clouds swirl about me in the tranquil summer's breeze, ever basking
myself in an aura unknown to me. My only joy, what mirth my memory
must serve to endure for the unbearable length of what shall prove to
be my undoing. The lost lamb shall soon be in a place where shepherds
fear to tread.
No gallant knight to save me from myself, and no golden Eden standing
in wait at the rainbow's end. Alas, but only my wretched soul lies upon
the butcher's block, unsaved. Salvation is for the pure, and far from
that be I.
I am but the messenger of a tattered soul, coming to put its final
wishes into action. The envelope remains unopened to all but the
receiver's eyes. My futile mind knows not of what lay before us.
But one doth know the fate of myself, and a thousand other souls. My
judge, shall determine that which is indeterminate to all else, and be
it but duty that binds him to the damnation of what pitiable souls
happen upon his courtroom.
In truth, I am but meager game within this ravenous world. Though meager
upon sinners, is regarded as evil to the pure. Angelic voices sing a
latent hymn to my ears, which though sweeter than saccharine, begins to
drive me to insanity.
The heavenly notes played out upon my senses do force me to lay in the
fuel of my own ignited flame. The terror, the horror, that these actions
do cause me now is a fright to daemons all.
Oh angels above, take pity on this warped soul kneeling before you, for
long shall it toil to repay the duties given. The seas of sapphire shall
cleanse my being evermore. Golden threads wafting in the gentlest wind
shall be my hymns angelic.
Damn not a soul who knows the path to his personal salvation. Sin has
repentance, and thus shall my soul have its penance if but this final
chance do you bestow upon its fragile being. Harbor no hatred for that
which has no hatred in itself.
If ever shall a wish be heard, be it now.
Dancing in the pool of sapphire, the reflections of the angels
strengthen my fidelity.
My tender heart now makes a wish upon the sapphire pool, which lays
serene and pure.
Usagi, please help me.

I know that this one is pretty short by comparison to my other fics, but
it's also pretty good I think. Anyway, be prepared for Chapter 5 of The
Die Is Cast, coming very soon.
