a song inspired by taking solace, mystic traditions, and hope

we were both born in soil
seedlings- withering and fading
abandoned and alone
in a world full of turmoil
the winds tormented us daily
and the fires licking our tears

music boxes formed in our flowers
and sang elegies asking the heavens “why?”
songs full of sorrow and longing- for both you and I
you grew ears that echoed
and enriched our sacred hymns
and I grew majestic horns as well
twelve points, twelve stars, twelve signs

we promised each other the aeons,
and to escape this prison and Hell
you and I delved deep within
and found white wings within our own wounds
we escaped and embraced each other
and the blackened empires fell
we ascended the worlds together- became forever entwined
