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
