Sanctum

The sheet of darkness

The glow of light

It all is monochrome down there

It is all black and white..

The raw cavern surface

Bouncing back the soft cries

The silky velvety water

Dripping sharply from the stalagmites..

The Sacred traps you

In her dark womb..

Rocking you like a little baby

Slowly stifling your cries..

At the aisle of the Sanctum

You heel..

Praying for a miracle,

Craving for light

‘So far down here, you will find no God’

You will, instead, find the glossy stream

Reflecting your very own ghostly visage

A façade so raw, so real..

Yelling through the river bed,

God, He is You,

In you, believe you must, instead..

With great responsibility, comes great power

Bellows the enormous cave..

Fight me, defeat me,

Find a way through my soggy maze..

Each his own Messiah

And for the others too..

The path to Illumination

Involves decisions crude..

And so having found You Sanctum

I wish no longer your cradle

That cradles my fellows in the arms of death

Dark, damn, cold..

I wish to hunt the radiance again

To bathe in its glorious warm wings

For the Sanctum made me find myself

The quest will thus begin

I know you, I feel you

With so much might I seek you

The White that erases the Black

The Light that extinguishes the Dark
