Bereft |
| Alone… |
| Hollow… |
| Ashen |
| Life promises only death |
| And thus I am again sentenced to solitude |
| In silent contemplation, a vision framed in grey |
| Falls upon world-weary eyes and brings torpor |
| The years behind left drained and colourless |
| I look within to fan the embers |
| Charred and enervated beyond recall to flame |
| For so long, I have journeyed, one weary step upon another |
| The dust of a decade’s failures ground underfoot |
| And so I fix my gaze to myriad desolation |
| The harsh wind punished a frail simulacra |
| On the precipice of spiritual oblivion |
| Without and within only ashes remain |
| As the elements now I shall be |
| As one with the enduring stone and the onrishing waters of wild rivers |
| As one with the burnished hue of the dawn |
| And the misty closure of the twilit evenfall |
| To cross the foils and stygian peatfields |
| To stride unfeeling towards the eternal periphery |
| These bitter lands have borne witness to so much |
| That I now embrace within a lonely |
| And burned-out will |
| When only distant memories chime across a spiritual vacuum |
| The last vestiges of life long since extinguished |
| A dying visage whipped by storms charged with the stench of despair |
| The entirety of my essence, the nucleus of my humanity now scoured |
| I am Bereft |
