---

Whispering winds hiss atop the branches of life

Sent forth, to tempt me

I try and stay true to myself and move along

As though there is nothing there

But like the morning sun clawing its way through the clouds

I feel it’s talons clenching

With the strength of a thousand fallen; strong

Tearing apart my sanity until there is nothing left

But like a falling star comes just as fast as it leaves

Swallowed by the void

It was I who led myself here

Not the hand of your proclaimed God

Ingest and manifest as it spreads like a cancer

Soon I must answer the call
