Chapter Zero

Embrace me When the world forgets When the clouds drift by, unnoticed Embrace me Like the gentle breeze raging on A starlit, night sky, an illusion passing me by untethered Embrace me while you can While the sun rises and sets While roses shed their skin Above the eyeless shores withered Grab strong, unto the torn hilts They stride right by me blind Hold firm while you still can There is no telling where we set land Before the rain dries Until we lay restless While you can While you still can, embrace me
