A recorded reading of “Beneath the Womb of Stars”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Beneath the veils of shifting green, where silence coils in tendrilled sheen, a lone figure stands—a scrap of flesh, adrift in shadows, vast, enmeshed. Above, the womb of stars unspools, its heart a tangle, dark and cruel. Roots of abyss, like veins of grief, scar through the cosmos, stark, unbrief. Planets hover, fractured eyes, ghosts of orbits, frozen cries. Their shattered whispers weave the air, as if to ask, “Who lingers there?” The crescent spires, thrumming with dread, reach forth with hunger, sharp and spread. A tongue of shadow, slow, profound, devours all wanderers—into the ground. And yet, beneath that cosmic glare, the figure lingers, bold, aware. A shard of defiance in realms that consume, casting a shadow in death’s green bloom.
Lyrics
Beneath the veils of shifting green, Where silence coils in tendrilled sheen... A lone figure stands—a scrap of flesh, Adrift in shadows, vast, enmeshed. Above, the womb of stars unspools, Its heart a tangle, dark and cruel. Planets hover, fractured eyes, Ghosts of orbits, frozen cries. Their shattered whispers weave the air, As if to ask, “Who lingers there?” The crescent spires, thrumming with dread, Reach forth with hunger, sharp and spread. A tongue of shadow, slow, profound, Devours all wanderers—into the ground. And yet, beneath that cosmic glare, The figure lingers, bold, aware. A shard of defiance in realms that consume, Casting a shadow in death’s green bloom. Planets hover, fractured eyes, Ghosts of orbits, frozen cries. Their shattered whispers weave the air, As if to ask, “Who lingers there?” A lone figure stands—a scrap of flesh... Adrift in shadows... vast... enmeshed...
