Part I · The High School Era (1992–1996)
I put a long day’s journey aside
And lay myself beside a tree,
Whose excellent foliage provides for me
Cool shade from the sun.
Burning Eye
Flaming Blade
Sole auspice in an azure sky
Its augury discerns truth from lie.
Dawn to dusk: Sun’s beauty expressed.
It’s a beacon of stark reality.
Until disappearing to lands far west,
And leaves us to conjecturality.
I open my eyes to starlit heaven
And pick out the moon’s argent bloom.
Definite and defiant impending doom,
She promises loss.
Sin Sphere
Sooth Shroud
Sole reason for our fear,
She blinds our purpose to persevere.
Dusk to Dawn: Moon’s dark realm.
I dream of shadows
Until the sun rises on the horizon
And returns me to truth.
