And He Became the Burning Stars…

Memories
Marbled in time
Echoes of liminance
Ashen and sundered
A final celestial rite
Surrender my bones
To the silence of sorrows
Caste in fading light

Beyond the blackness of death
A prayer of enflamed stars ascend

Deep
In the forests of night
Where the wind softly weeps
Through the vines of the willow
There
I shall ascend
In the semblance of twilight
In the silence of shadows
Caste in fading light

In the silence of shadows
Caste in fading light
Beyond the blackness of death
A prayer of enflamed stars ascend

Forsaken horizons beckon
Resplendent cosmic simulacrum
Beyond the blackness of death
A prayer of enflamed stars ascend

To breach the boundaries of time
To become the measureless tide
A celestial fastness imparted in passage
The transcendence of spirit in waning light

To ride the ascension of twilight
Bleeding memories from the cosmic wound
A flaming tear across an ocean obsidian
My spirit exhumed in the effulgence of the light of the Moon

Relinquish my bones to the silence of sorrows
Burning beneath celestial pine
A whisper of flesh in a womb of stars
My spirit unbound in the effulgence of the light of the Moon
