The Giver's Embrace

In golden liquid, I

Numbly drift away as time slips right through my closing fists.

Tell me about the light in the crevice

Where leeches dwell.

My sight blurs. Must I dive down

To this riverbed?

On glowing currents, habeli rides my mind.

Dissolved lore represses grief. My scars fade away.

The Giver's embrace reveals Neekog's true face.

Am I destined to be the League's last devotee?

I don't float alone. All the sages that I have slain swim with me again.

Under aureate streams glitters your eternal realm, untouched by the shadows

Of the Torch where you burned in vain.

Serene wit,

I fully backed the schemes of my one true love.

I was enthralled by our people's deal and if she were alive, I'd have never left her side.

So, I strayed

The Giver seeps through our ways,

Gnawing laws a favor!

The ulcerous past and future are gone and

The now has escaped to nowhere.

Well, you lead me astray, cannot feel my body's frame.

I sink down, tranquilly, was never offered a more convincing aim.

Hold on friend, that soul can feel me.

A gentle touch and it says that it used to feed on pain.

I pet its belly and reply: I found no repose

In all the dying that I've seen. Only here the anguish fades away.

Hence, I dream all night.

The cycle can never die.

And how I marvel at the Brewer's wisdom.

Who can breed,

Ignite the spark of innocent life?

The Giver's flow is without end,

Will last inside the heart, which is purely given away.

As I drink, quiescence comes to me.

And as I drink, my vision settles.

I am wide open.

United, cannot be dissected.

Analysis futile exercise.

A sudden retch, and saliva wets the beach.

Finally, I regorge. Astounded eyes blink moistly. All curled up,

Beauty beholds the light of day.

Once, I was driven by vengeance, now, I give life.

Embraced, given peace. The wheel is nudged, can't be stopped.
