Ecksuls fyrm verlerterm’n
(I lose aspects of my former self every passing day)
De spekhöln nei flůstend,
(Even my native tongue now sounds foreign to me)
gven’koe nèttenšaf
(trapped in this cage, never to escape)
Se névard dvaien thorste
(Surrounded by those who will never understand)
Verlonta’alh
(Lost to those who knew)
Voorrt
Devnei oveggaf
Nei er alls
Se vil husernnen
(I must try
I can not give in
But will there be any home to return to?
Will they remember?)

Branches rustle, snow falls
The moon shines overhead
A normally foreboding atmosphere now feels more welcoming than that of the shining sun
As the frozen crystals brush against my face,
I ponder this as the biting cold brings with it this unusual comfort.
Since \it/ occurred,
I have seen and felt more than I could have ever imagined.
Who was once a soulless husk, now imbued with newfound understandings,
persists forth on its own accord
Only now there is this insatiable longing for The hum
so alien, yet so familiar
To what ends?
Time will tell

there grew lilies
and other offerings
hell had cooled
in ego’s death
if I am an island
there is nothing to want
nothing to dream
nothing to suffer

a white lie / a black sky
the ravens fly / we all die
An ever-present desire gnaws at the soul in way incurable to many
Only through a death of sorts can one begin the process of severing that toxic connection
While some will be freed, most descend into these…
Unrecognizable states of being,
Guided only by urges both primal and unnatural
Empty shells that wander aimlessly through a fertile field disguised as This Wasteland
To be lost forever in a sea of covetry
alfalln / kussend
fresšei / ollöst
(all is forgotten/ lost to delirium
through this we are free/ to wander for all eternity)
