Memories teeter betwixt my shut eyes,

As I witness my versions several,

Stars shine down from the empyrean skies,

With the blowing wind I seem to mingle,

Muffled seem the sounds of raging battle, 

All 𝙢𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 borders fade ‘midst shades of crimson,

In a 𝙛𝙤𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙪𝙨𝙝 I just lay frozen, 

Buried ‘neath mounting debris six feet deep,

An eternal garden I envision,

Distant dirges lull me to peaceful sleep.
