The Askance Chapter 3 Part 6a
The Age Of Misrule
Life is never more as normal as it should
Days to only ponder in wonder where tomorrow leads?
My darkest of dream has long since left its root
Where sleep is no longer an open war that bleeds
It was already a year since The Ancients became
The Askance is only ever so what a nightmare means
Though Alkaiya, The Mistress of War I’m never to see again
Yet truly missed is Ei-rian The Befallen Angel of Dreams
Though of reality I embrace as my own
I knew regardless I’m never the same as before
With the inborn illusion I’m infused to sown
How much of life can I deter from…afterall!
And brought to life are but words in my this lifetime
Perhaps only in words I can honestly surrender
With so much of time simply forsaken behind
Yet my search for tranquility remains forever an after
Amongst this darken ambient I sat myself upon
My glass of wine can perhaps only represent this serenity
Recent became places like this I belong
Hidden in darkness, hiding from reality
{Seeing darkness as my own, I dreamt of words
Yet no voice from beyond remains inspirational to be heard
And I dared beyond, daring to venture into depths
If only, to have only my unsatisfactory desires be met
Darkness veiling darkness… time dissolving time
Silence in pure silence… a tranquility forgotten behind
Darkness began its outspread, from without then within
Perhaps a soft chanting, a whisper of aria is to begin herein
Voices from the soulless children were heard in recognition
An enigmatic chanting I can finally acknowledge as freedom
And I was at once entranced by the lyrical tunes
Forgetting myself from whence I embrace reality to loom
I felt lifted with a grace of discerning thoughts
Of tranquility I yearn, need nevermore be fought
Like stars awaiting to be focus… to be seen beautiful
A mindset abandoning troubles, in riddance for the age of misrule
And there, the ultimacy in my grasp, in my wake
How soon before, I wonder is all to ultimately fade?
Where voices rose then higher for mortal’s ears to comprehend
Silence became all but deafening, when its no more I understand}
