I stand at the edge of creation
Wearing the night as my gown
Chaos and darkness emerge
And I ride across dawn
The world is a hourglass, and I fall prey to time
Legends of the skies wrapped in my hands
Fall over the years, nocturnal sand mixing with daytime
For the trained, I am their solace
Others, their worst nightmares
I can make the all powerful one weep
And I don’t even have to move my feet
Light flickers and beats and glows
My embers trail past her luminous soul
My heart is inked with night
And patters among the stars
My crown of shadows
Ripple in the dark.
