The sun marks me with reverence But my eyes were blind to its fire. I wandered through the void unnamed; A wraith in smoke, a soul for hire.
I have been sightless for eons, The old world forgotten, cruel and bright. But light returned like ash to altar; Unshackled from the endless night.
Where have I been? These patterns mark my skin; Chains once carved, now forged within. Where has the darkness gone? I stare into impermanence Through spirals etched in consequence. When will I spiral? Oh gods, when will I spiral?
Celestial fire — It bleeds through my tears, It scorches my name, It brands all my fears.
It slips beyond my grasp, And still I wait for the return Of the spiral I must pass.
Laughter cracks like ancient stone; A sound I've never known. Weightless now, but bound to pain— Who am I, if not the flame?
Spirals… spirals… This time around I keep my eyes open Until the cycle takes me down Again…
Laughter cracks like sacred stone; A sound I've always known, unknown. Lightless now, yet flame remains— A self reborn in burning chains.
It slips beyond my grasp, And still I wait for the return The spiral never truly Passed.
Spirals… spirals… This time around I keep my eyes open Until the cycle takes me down Again…
