The Timeless One
From the black did he inhale, the light of all becomes a tale. A story of love that couldn't see. Up comes the wind and it fills his sail. It is his boat that is pushed to sea for a final farewell. A light on troubled waters for it be he. A shining star all alone for far too long has he been away and now at world's end. With no crew does he operate his vessel. Stuck like a barnacle this be a carnival. To be lost alone he leaves the world gone. It is him like a fly does he cast away. A great Fisher without torch he does at night for he be great and he be the light. A tower of babel does he write. That fallen sand now empty from the hourgass. The timeless one holds steadfast. Forever and ever a ghost from the past.
