Parted

Spoken

I have scoured ancient maps and divined by starlight

Found the ruins of lost names

Delved into the crypts of yesterday

Strode across an oasis of tomorrow

Far among these realms wander I

And here I found a glint of treasure to behold;

A treasure that was you

Furiously through ruble and relic did I pry;

And here at last your form was bare

I consumed you and knew your Truth

Lingering, I savored that which was unearthed

Long did I muse, as twilight beget the dawn

Withered, my mouth grew parched

Feeble, my hands did tremble

Confused, my mind did wander

I dared to hope

In the notes of my journey, your name is scrawled in gilded crimson

Perhaps a fool was I, but to me you gleamed

You were the most precious;

For you were gold
