I transversed deep into the eyes of the dark abyss

feeling the terror and pull of its incomprehensible power and might

there i stood, at the very edge of my self

horrified

beyond the beyond,

the great expanse

void fulfilled and so complete

transparent

all ever was

and then a spark, the tiniest of anchors appeared to pierce my heart saved by love.

the unspeakable gift, this secret companion

momento mori

i recognize my true name

will i fulfill its essence before it's time to see myself again
