When the city sleeps tonight,
I awake in a fit of unrest.
I rip off the sheets in a trance.
Tore open the curtains,
Met with blank accusatory stares.
I see a vast plain of dwindling wastelands,
over and over again.
Photo within photo.
Black within gray, gray within whites.
I stumble onto the cracked barren straits.
There is no sun, moon, or stars.
Only barren sand.
And a door in the illusory oasis beckons.
I start to run. and run.
My breath shortens.
I run until I cannot scream.
as the cathedral bells dully sound
you stand in the shadows
the silence of the crows surround
the last circles of gold pooling at your feet
your shoulders that bear our presence
and in the calm
you become the beautiful.
I am the ephemeral
Only the passing
only the fleeting
I am the dust at your feet
I beg you to tread lightly
-to be kind to the memories
Intertwine my being with you
Become the ugly – become the disdained
The unwanted – the outcasts
Of this cold cruel world
Only take me with you
And we can be the scattered wanderers
Guardians
In a beautifully broken world.
where the wind takes you
the air breathes to different rhythms
will be another world
the sounding of distant drums
swept into oblivion, turning from green fertile fields
yearning to reach the hidden melodies
into a cracked dusted desert
of the lonely, of the loved, of the driven, of the unheard
no longer able to follow the gentle curves of riverbeds
we stop
where roads are forged in imaginations
to sing the chorus of the forgotten
we begin
Hisagomaru-san!
I just watched ep. 259 Bleach and this has got to be my favorite Zanpaktou character of all times! He’s a shorty little robot and so cute (he even said he stole Hanataro’s chickens because he got lonely in the sewage system! ahhh too cute!).
