The Reunion of Ancient Roots

Awaken... arise from deepest slumber
Follow the guiding light from the presence of the moon
No comfort only loss, and the grip of crippling solitude
The onset of night reveals more menacing sounds of the unknown
Unwavering terror clings, no euphoria to follow
A grave mistake was made, yet no memory will serve him
A violet stag appears before him, his eyes an infinite black
Words whispered by the timeless Guardian resonate within his being
Unwanted memories forcibly returned
Tears of blood flow endlessly, to be absorbed by ancient roots
He wishes more than anything to forget the stag's words, unknown for eternity
The mistakes of man untenable, and the world demands retribution
Stepping forward a cave invites him to join the celebration
The reunion of ancient roots
Cataracts cloud his eyes, useless in the abyss
His skin withers and desiccates and his lungs struggle for air
He prostrates himself to cold hard ground
Surrounding roots begin to stir, warm and tender
Creeping slowly, grasping limbs
A toothless smile spreads as he drifts away
