The Valley
Oh how I missed this place,
once more I walk this valley.
However lush and beautiful it is,
I know I can't stay here.
If I do,
I would not leave.
I burned this place to the ground
last time.
I regretted that choice,
the consumption.
The rage and inferno
igniting the sanctuary.
I will not allow that to happen again,
I would control it.
I should still leave,
since it is only I who remain.
This valley is my safe place, but
I cannot find what I seek here.
It would be wise to allow
my sanctuary to grow.
To thrive without me.
For I too must move on,
and leave this valley for my return.
