Albatross

Fear bearing down. Mere moments before collapse
Surrendering through ancient syntax
Iridescent luminance
Erupting brightly and never before witnessed.

A beacon on the shore of enlightenment.

Met with only human brutality.
Hunted down with bestial ferocity.
The gift denied. Shedding serenity.
Primal bromide over clarity.

In eyes of glacial azure despair
Hope had fled and will now only blankly stare.
In ragged, shallow breaths and without a care
A final ritual performed. Anathema declared.


Alone. Wandering.
Abandoned. Humanity will be
Haunted eternally.
The lost mariner traversing the void...
