《pears for breakfast》the voice
Advertisement
there is a voice that sings me to sleep
a voice like smooth river stones
like well thought out thunder
and when he sings he whispers
that i am never alone
his words are an intricate dance
one i've stumbled through before
the way his tongue slides
flicking out the words "rose petal"
like a careful prolonged execution
teasing at an escape
begging me to say he isn't welcome here
lullabies shouldn't sound like dying
still, his lips are casting the final blow
shall i thank him?
death does count as an escape
the teasing, it seems, was not in vain
and at least i get to hear my parting music
as it all fades
there is a voice that i know
a voice like the smoothest sound of thunder
that sings me to sleep
a/n: i hear him, but does he hear me?

Tree of Yggdrasil
A Land of Myths and Legends. It has been far too long since the Age of Humanity has come and gone, the only evidence of those times being ruins and relics, left over from a past shrouded in mystery.

Countries rise and fall, struggling in an endless cycle of conquest and bloodshed. Yet still they pray to the source of their misfortune, the Tree of Yggdrasil, hoping to be granted one of its miracles. It has been centuries since the Tree has blessed a being. Only a select few in the past were able to receive its grace, bringing about a new form of power to the world and transcending humanity.

Once again, humanity is rising, yet their growth brings about misfortune to all who surround them. Those forsaken even by their own races face death, persecution and loneliness. And yet, the Tree keeps its silence. Until now… *Credit for the cover goes to Darkhikarii at DeviantArt, if you want it taken down, please message me.
