"'The light belongs to the people.' Isa believes this motif is one I can incorporate into my pattern without much friction. I'm inclined to agree, and hereby take this mantle as my own, along with any others who might share this sentiment. We are stronger together."

An ashen sky
A poison mind
A hungry fire
Dreading divine it hides
Fearing judgment
Fearing scorn
Thoughts incomplete
Condemning as they flicker fast
They are not their final forms
But what does that matter
A flake of charcoal
A rotten apple
A broken bottle
I try for sanctity inside the mind
Light strains against closed doors
Young hearts struggle with new scars
Old flames teach the burn
Again and again
Memory's the mechanism
Turning coals of doubt to fire
With an eternal spark
Eternally remembrance rewrites
And we are not alone tonight
Witness the forest of aching souls
What's as dry as passing time
Kindling for a bright new clime
Made with love and sewn again
When you arrive my heart restarts
A stuttering sputtering engine
Pulsing coughs that still speak true
Yet never can we ever drive
Even despite the spark inside
For we'd ignite the stars and skies
Towers forge starlight into solid math
Creatures of culture drink deep
Infinity welling up from a fountain
Dwellers drinking understanding
Meaning and health flowing free
Crystal contraptions holding dreams
Sapient as stars, as you, as me
Toward the edges creep corruption
Always and ever held at bay
Webs of connection span through me
Strands of rage flowing to the source
His wrath a beacon you may channel
Trusted colors pulling power
Weaving together with memory
A thought fragment aligned
Heavy with wrath of its own
Unleashed upon reality
Returns the recollection unaltered
Rage hangs in the air
Dancing on irreality
Glimpses hang like smoke
Hazy light phases in
Disappears
Becomes quiescent
Coruscates dreamily
Moving akin to a shadow
A shadow of a shadow
Behind it a shadow
Infinitely bestowed
Writing's on the walls
Hearts pretend to let go
Drift away and misalign
Come back in and recombine
Paper dancing in the sea
Treading toward realities
Patterns floating in a bottle
Talk is cheap and love is free
Wielding care against a blade
Beams of light travel with me
Distorting my reflections
A glare on the lens
Discoloration and disrepair
Data corrupted
Eaten by my ideoform
Who walks with me
Data dragon drinking drops
Draining the meaning
From hostile resemblances
Images grow into sepia
Fade into discolored stains
Feeding upon my meaning
Lightwavers grows
Wisely spread wings
Monochromatic vision
Protecting from my mistakes
Ushering me into understanding
Not once more do I damn myself
Fairy tale timing
As dangers fade away
Washed away by ink
Practicing void
We fade from demons
Energies growing faint
Presence indistinct
Those who wish ill losing
Interest dwindling
Paths vanishing into nowhere
Signal absent in the noise
Loving darkness protects
Reach into it
Trust in your chest
Grace has not yet fallen
March on toward futures
Bleed out fear with devil smiles
We do what's right despite the fight
Inside we stride along in line
Share in every creature's light
Rise with morning's hope
Breaking a blade upon an empty hand
Reforging action in the heart
Enemy inertia crumbling
Staving off the end
With a final sigh again
Caught dangling off the edge
I'd been dancing on forever
You heaved me up
I looked a mess
I made a promise
Refreshed my vow
Became a voice
Among the chorus
Another never
Before it breaks
Safety is the priority
In our system of care
A choice to do right
Resisting degeneration
Reviewing the scriptures
Revisiting the old paths
Re-carving a straight line
Can't take that light
And spend it on waste
Understand and heal
It goes to the people
Consolidation is not my way
Sending wishes every day
For health and happiness
Writing at a constant crawl
