Survive

Survive

You are here.
Isolated, abandoned, exiled from life,
Only the diminishing sun as a lonely companion.
Listen to the music of life,
Its twisted tongues provide no clarity.
Arise now from the world's floor,
And feel an old heartbeat within the nurturing breeze.

Breathe, enjoy it while it lasts,
For soon, your world will be shrouded in darkness.
How dare you feel any sense of calm,
 A remnant of hope.
And yet, you still do.

Gather what you can,
Learn what you must.
Your companion left long ago,
Your only aid is no more.

The constricting realities of time cloud your judgement,
The trees of life surround you, and yet the opposite is what they bring.
A fool to question the montage of death that lie before you.

Step now into the cavern of fear and darkness,
Bathe in your blood, the water of my kingdom.

Sleep.
