The Weeping Vessel

Zao


Woe to the vessel
For it couldn’t compose
The igniting spark

Oh, it shuddered
And collapsed
Beneath the weight of it all
Slowly it is reassembled
As a wound not seen but felt

No sense of presence
Oh, again it shudders
Oh, again it collapsed

The vessel
It wept
And crept behind the door

Echoes dripping down the walls
Crawling underneath the floor

Procession to a grave
Unknown is the one we mourn

An entity lost on its way
To this our physical plane

It was a shadow
Cast from a flame
Indestructible energy that still remains
