earthriser

In craters and crevices,

Darkened canyons and unknown caves,

I have wandered.

I set sail eons ago to burnt landscapes and frozen plains. My port of last call bestowed our wreck to a sea of ashes, blown in the solar wind.

Never to return I dug in, here, I found solace

In craters and crevices,

Darkened canyons and unknown caves,

I have wandered.

As the scorching of day lasted forever, I found abode in dusty tunnels of night. There, I mapped the most desolate of labyrinths and forged our life into oblivion.

I swallowed the map and got lost in its corridors.

All is quiet in here.

All is heaven and silent ice.

I have countless palaces and immense lands for myself. I reign upon multitudes of eternal shadows

In craters and crevices,

Darkened canyons and unknown caves,

I have wandered

To put distance from the broil of life and the storm in your smiles.

I watch from afar the earth spinning out of  dusk, where friendly memories all float asunder

In craters and crevices,

Darkened canyons and unknown caves,

You will never find me.
