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
Inspired by another world.
