Do not bind me into a mundane seam… As I lay serene in the twilight stream. As the stars breathe over the arc… I sow my wish tree in the dark. Whilst made of old Gold and Silver… Chains are still my trance’s border. Ocean so boundless and Jade … Stretches beyond the bygone. I wait for none, To stride towards my vision. 2013.August 3rd
