The undertow carries me from
The darkest depths of the uncharted forest
The ebb and flow of its glassy rivers have come to set me free
From the enveloping claws of my so-called brothers
I have left their grasp found within myself
An unknown sense of identity
Our brethren we left behind
Now constantly murmuring of our transgressions
And I could not be happier with you
The silent one we share with none in our thoughts
Having realised the numb and I could not be happier with you
The silent one we share with none thoughtlessness of those we left behind
Just I Prometheus and you
Gaia left to survive
In the wonderfully serene landscape that you have offered me
And as we grow and learn I slowly realise
The years of struggle now strike me as the most beautiful of my life
All my life that may amount to
And all that I have become
I owe to the shine in your eyes
The lumination that weaves its way into the darkest depths of my mind
If we ever succumb so deeply to another's words
I hope that then your restoration would not be an afterthought
