He saw the unseeable
He spoke the unspeakable
His face was illusion
And his name was Lies.

lingers in my dream
mirroring the madness

I am awake after all.

Cloak herself, again
Upon the
Gray ghosts of men

Trust that it will Unfold;
for even what seems Random

Embracing my illusion,

as truth returned uncensored

give a little,
squeeze a little drop,
give up on,
the illusion of seclusion
belay to open up,
to be becalmed
to be becoming.
