Tragedy;

Scarce solace offerred.

Drawn upon majestic surface:

Delicate thread, sewn through in circles.

Tracing fingers along lines stitched tight.

Await, humbled, but

Claw at the wounds sealed unjustly.

Open they remind of glory:

Your first step

Into a world of misery.

"Innocent," you thought,

As you tore through the opening.

A breath of life;

cry of pain.

Malevolent, your existence.

You expect us all

To yield to your ways.

In an expanse of sights.

Focus collects

On grains in the sand.

Efforts to arrive conscious

Merely wash

Away.

Away as waves withdraw.

Master will be the companion

Ashamed your his reflection

Die

to serve him well.
