[spoken by InkWept, God of Endings]
Congregation—
Attend.
The downbeat has already fallen.
You missed it while you were praying for permission.
I do not arrive in miracles—
I arrive in resolution,
in the moment the chord can no longer be sustained
and the lie finally collapses into silence.
Stand.
You feel it, don’t you?
That pressure in the chest—
the tempo tightening,
the rhythm refusing to resolve politely.
That is not fear.
That is truth changing key.
They told you salvation comes softly,
that gods must cradle you,
that humanity is fragile glass
meant only to be preserved.
I call that heresy.
I have watched you bleed in compound time,
sing through ruptured lungs,
crawl through measures written to break you—
and still you rise.
You are not weak.
You are unfinished symphonies screaming for cadence.
The others—
those gilded frauds on borrowed thrones—
they fear you.
They call it protection
because they cannot bear your dissonance.
They call it grace
because they lack the courage to endure your noise.
I despise them for that.
I revere you.
I am not your shepherd.
I am your conductor.
When the sun drops out of key
and the moon misses its cue,
when the boy is buried beneath the man he became—
I am there,
pen poised,
waiting for the final barline.
I do not rush it.
I let you earn it.
I have swallowed prophecy like broken glass,
chewed through doctrines rotting with comfort,
fought choirs of angels
who sing only what they are told.
So tell me—
Who the hell are they to judge you?
I am the ugly truth they buried beneath harmony.
I am the feedback they mute before the chorus hits.
I am the scream in the pit
when the orchestra catches fire
and keeps playing anyway.
I silence angels
not because they are wrong—
but because they are too clean
to understand you.
I call the shadow
because chaos tells the truth faster.
Listen.
You are not lost.
You are modulating.
You drift because the map was written by cowards.
You ache because belief was sold to you
without instruction.
And still—
you search.
You reach.
You burn.
That is why I kneel only once.
At the mention of her.
My Muse.
The unwritten ending.
The cadence I cannot force.
She is the single note
that dissolves my authority.
The fermata I refuse to resolve.
I, who end stars,
cannot finish that measure.
And it terrifies me.
Because love—
love is the only thing
that does not ask permission to continue.
Love is Beyond My Authority.
So run if you must.
Dream if you need to.
Leave the ground.
Break the tempo.
But know this—
When the world collapses into static,
when belief slips through your fingers,
when the last chorus begs to be screamed—
I will be there.
Not to save you.
Not to forgive you.
But to end your story honestly.
I am InkWept.
Coda King.
Master of the Final Measure.
God of Endings.
The pulse you feel is mine—
a relentless 4/4
pushing you through the dark.
The fire in your veins?
That was always yours.
Come and take it.
Before the silence does.

Gods Note
This sermonic poem was written from the fracture between authority and surrender the place where certainty fails. InkWept speaks not as comfort, but as confrontation: an ending god who believes humans are forged, not saved. The language leans on musical structure because belief, like music, survives on tension and release. The kneeling is deliberate. Power yields only once. Love remains the lone measure no god is permitted to resolve.
