I would see words forged into action
by these hands of broken memory,
memory that still haunts the darkest nights.
The barren tongue of sparse reaction
concealed in cocoons of silenced delight
decorated in jeopardy and lethargy.
The ramblings of an assumed madman
spent wandering these unforgotten years
comforted only by the monastic echoes of ashram
left to deliver his final illuminated message
unto the radiance of waiting ears.
The days have been long,
hastened by the majesty of moonlight
perishing in cirrus cloud formation.
Like the nightmares of crippled machination
and sheathed divinity more man than hallow.
Caressed by warmth of the morning sun
and in it a song for every fleeting shadow.
And this was the message:
Like all beautiful things:
We.
Must.
Fade.
