Chapter 18: Androgynous

You are chosen to bear witness tonight,
to the forgotten ancient Chasmic lore.
Fighting will only make it worse.
Just relax and let it happen.

Contained by murky ocean tides lie
twin isles, by ignorance estranged.
Drift along; let the waves carry you away.
Just relax and let it happen.

They fall and rise; they wane and wax;
“Remember…” they swing, left and right.
They retell of appalling chronicles.
Just relax and let it happen.

You will see Shadow and its dance.
You will hear how lies fractured reality.
The isles of Nadir and Zenith are but
splinters of the one pregnant silence.

If you fight the ocean, you will not be.
If you fear the chasm, you will not see.
You are chosen to bear witness tonight.
Just relax and let it happen.
