Stepping through the darkness
I can see a form
A form of the formless
Walking yet gliding toward me
And away from oblivion
I stare where its eyes should be
Our gazes meet
Our souls intertwine
Our thoughts become words
As we begin our battle
We must join
We must delay the joining
We must join
We must part
We cannot delay the joining
Death must be delayed
And so you see
Out of the shadows
My shadow of death has come to join with me
To take my soul into oblivion
But I fear the other side
A boundless stupidity
Or a bountiful beauty
I fear the unknown
Yet I join
As it is inevitable.
