shadowed wanderer i sit and stare
her eyes pierce my core my being
like me she has been before
we sit across the room and watch
what has been points to what's to come
ageless we wait our turn
the new and young thing they create
all is stolen and remade
we watch the ancient fire lords cast their sparks
while water directs the flow
ageless masters steady on their courses
while we the ancient wanderers sit and wait
the dance to and fro create, destroy, remake
some good, some bad, but left balanced the move
alone we are, so rare the chance that two at once would be
yet here we are, so drawn so weary, clutching the ancient secrets
we watch, we drink, our paths cross the out the door i walk
cloak tight, hood up, and once more my secret safe i step into the shadows of oblivion
