Time is moving fast yet in a fragile fashion during these remaining fleeting moments, I can feel the static within this cold night air as the hours march closer and closer to the end of this line &#8211; as the last of the hourglasses tips further and further towards spilling out final fates &#8211; fates that I will inevitably have to\u00a0accept as my own once the time comes. I can see the look in their eyes when their glance catches mine, I can see their face begin to shift when I speak words from my mouth, for they know all to well that it&#8217;s almost over &#8211; they can see that I am spiraling down below, changing eternally from under.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>I can sense the houses, charging their warmth in their bay&#8217;s. For during those final hours that they sleep within their houses, fates and shadows alike will tug and pull, yearning for a moment of release, yearning to guide me to my grave. We are within the moments of an Advents end, a time where like all things are held still &#8211; yet every sound, very thought, every birth and every death can be sensed from the core. I can see the fires begin to blaze for even they are aware of the essence of time that remains to us know. And I can see the watching of the lords above, for their are both full of sorrow and grace alike that such things must be set into motion &#8211; that such things must come to an end in this way.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0Solace and peace are forgotten concepts during these darkest of nights, for while I may know that there is no war here left to fight, and while I know that all that was once held dear has been lost, as well as all what had once been loved &#8211; my mind still rapidly searches, endlessly, throughout the deepest crevices of the night, for a life or a line that could be always what I had dreamed. To tread onward&#8217;s into a line never meant for me would be to forever bare the weight of these tragedies for an eternity, to in a sense, marry to the grave and the darkness alike &#8211; a stagnant fate that I am not sure I wish to bare. My heart grows painfully silent during these remaining hours of this dying line, and my mind &#8211; much louder than it has ever been before. For thoughts of remorse, regret, hope, and darkness alike will be the death of me.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can hear the choral voices singing and shouting, both in angst as well as in rejoice for what has now begun &#8211; the end of an Advent.
