The end
Approaches with grace, breaking through guard and what’s left of my spirit
Eroding the light of tomorrow’s advance
Gathering clouds
Encircle my home, weaving a promise of grey dereliction
An imminent storm carries my terminal dream
Protector
My slumbering friend
What will it take now to wake you
I kneel at your side as the tempests descend
Guardian
My solemn direction
My compass no more
In this hour of penance I beg to restore
I would scour the stars for your light
I’d relinquish my eyes for your sight
Pierce my soul, count my breaths
I know your presence foreshadows my death
Specters before me take form
Echoes of those I’ve forsworn
Raging flames dim to a spark
The shades circumscribing their mark
Gathering clouds
Surrounded my soul, hopelessly lost in their vortex
Circadian storms, brought me my terminal dream
I would scour the stars for your light
I’d relinquish my eyes for your sight
Pierce my soul, count my breaths
I know your presence foreshadows my death
