Crystal Castles

by @ADreamerDarkly

What your eyes see are things that your mind cannot comprehend Beware the blasted wastes beneath the light of the frozen moon Fields of flame full of pasts and futures of endless unborn dead You gaze upon an expanse that tears at your soul This is the place where all things come to their end it seems Hope not to find shade under The True Liar’s Monolith--ruins will remain of you too Oh the hubris of man who tries to map the whimsy of the gods Dancing landmarks On the page Never coming To rest twice in the same place At the center of the maze sits the changer of ways created and sustained by desire The Architect of Fate “I could let you wander for eternity with your shattered mind, but that’s not my plan for you.” “You are a drop in a sea of thought, locked in mortality, but as long as humanity has hope I will be here.” “Go now, and make waves; I will be watching.” Cast from the hidden library of chattering pages and numberless faces, he leaves the great plotter’s realm of chaos With a mind still whole--new knowledge and memories buried deep
