Echos fall from heavens
To paint worlds embrace
To breathe life into reality
Rhythms fall as guides
To reveal songs of life
To seek weary souls
To seek loves embrace
As they seek themselves
As they seek each other
Through times embrace
I shall seek you
As you seek me
Your song will save me
As mine shall save you
And silence my embrace

This poem draws inspiration from the song “Helvegen” by Wardruna and the idea of traversing a strange world using a unfamiliar sense to save loved ones from a hell of their own design.
