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
