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
