His name was Ozymandius, he was a king of kings lying deep is this sage of darkness. Lying deep in the still of a long nights faltering dream. He has seen the mountains from the abyss of a once desolate oasis. Leaning ever upwards as a stake crucifying the sky in its’ brilliance. Heed not the rumblings of star crossed souls implanting seeds of
malcontent.
Nor the cries of the lonely echoing Halfway…halfway…halfway…. As they go downward into the sea of death to find deliverance in timeless and total darkness. And sighted men proclaim the advent of immortality.
