Wilted Chaos

I saw the humans tremble with fear

Of a child that devours upon its roots,

The heavens above grieve the sun

With its stars forbidden from the moon,

And wailings of the undead below are buried

In the seething soil, heedless of the dread unknown

The vaunting monarchs who reign the Wests,

Slain in thrones with their own blades of wisdom.

Death parts no mortal; no elysian fields for the braves,

No reverence endowed to the mighty gods of the Eastern.

Life is reborn within the cradle forged from my bones

A sprout kindled with oblivion and chaos

That seeks answers even for the self;

Genesis of the beginning, a rite of the nature.

I’m Time, the endless that bore the existence.
