Awaken

Awaken unto a new day,

a day viewed through the Eyes of Loss.

Desolation and Desperation walk together,

Hand-in-Hand,

One leading the Other towards their abyssmal fate.

These ethereal plains once beamed vibrantly with life-

their color and beauty have since been sucked under,

torn away in a violent flash of error.

There is no life here, it seems;

no heartbeat, no breath, no warm blood.

Ashen dust chokes the air, blotting out the sky-

even light cannot sift through this false darkness.

Yet, within the Figure that prowls this domain,

there lies something small, cowering from the Encircling Chaos.

It is merely a thought, a stray feeling, a simple word...

the boy closes his eyes, a faint smile dawning on his face.

"Hope."
