The Askance Chapter 1 Part 5b
“Our time belongs not for the choosing
Beyond all doubt, weathers yet withers all reasoning
I am only to speak from your unfounded sorrows
Serving the bearer, a beginning towards a beginning to every a morrow
A dream belongs in every reality, alike reality to belong a dream
Atween is where we stand, believing and disbelieving to seem
One’s thought reads uncertain yet eager to believe
Burning your every desire to seek for serene relief
And yearning in silence, fear awaits to be tempered
Comfort oneself where tranquility will eventually be heard
There is still much to learn before you can truly be awaken
For an end to begin is where truly lies the unforeseen distance
Remember well, naïve one… the call of yore awaits its bearer
Alike the fate of a faithful servant, awaiting his humble master”
I was mesmerized, rather mystified even
Of the language he utter, was of those an ancient tongue
With the darkness gone, I’m left torn and broken
How much more to be, might a fragile soul be left undone
As harmless as he may be, I shouldn’t be afraid
Only he belongs the dark creature of my delusive dreams
However absurd, I know it is a long while that he has to await
To finally appear before me, from darkness within
I decidedly named him from a book once read
‘The Askance’ being the bringer of forbidden enigma
He will return once more I gather, to have answers met
Till then, let the time of dreamless reality be afar
