I stand upon the cliff
My hands upon the gate
Watching the waves below
Cause stone to resonate
I gaze upon a sea
Both raging and at peace
I know my place is there
When existence will cease
Obsidian plateau
Stretching from horizon’s singularity
Silent save the relentless exhalations
Of rending churn that roils
Carving, forging, year by year
Century by century
Generation upon generation
All consumed by thy languid embrace
Earth at once so hale and solid
Yet to dust and echoes falls
The caustic breath of time’s malice
This permanence appals
Granite shoulders rent by slews of time
On which men have placed their certainties
To sink into the brine
In a torpid slew of disinterment
This inexorable torrent
Relentless
Carrying a spirit-swarm on silty eddies
Echoes like ghosts drift upon timeless currents
Swarming like coils into thy seas
Eroded tithes, seabed tombs
Shifting sands, translucent auras
Under the waves, a labyrinth beheld
Murky totems to a lost world
In which the drifting remnants of our tribe
Sink into the cold embrace of the aether

The Last Gravestone
07:57
|
|

In the cold embrace of a crumbling chapel
The last gravestone stands and waits
Bathed in the aura of a forever setting sun
Pitted stone casts a lengthening shadow
Screaming winds and whipping brine-spray
Give voice to the howls of the lost and drowned
They are calling… calling
One final forlorn spirit to join them
From blackened earth to blacker waters
Drowned spirit-realm of ebon
No shred of light, no breath of sol
Can pierce this clave of the lost
Myriad voices, a reverential choir
Trembling the very roots of Albion
Sonorous this song of woe
From a thousand throats forgotten
Yet the gravestone still stands
Alone and unyielding
Crying defiance to the ravenous ocean
A totem of will
Legacy in stone
“Patient we are… waiting… watching…
A sky wreathed in flame
Above an ocean of glass
We walk as one beneath cerulean waves
Spectral hands
Raising as one
Embracing new horizons
All is lost
Yet nothing is gone
United in darkness we see with new eyes
Blessing the seabed
With echoes of will
These eroding canyons our eternal temple
Children once walked
And mothers once grieved
Bearing the wounds of the lost and bereaved
All was forgotten
In the tithes to the drowned
We see yet don’t remember”
Upon this dead cliff
A final soul dwells
One last offering to the yawning waters
Closure, finality
A siren song of ending
