🎈- A memory about a time they were safe and relaxed
memory meme | closed
in time’s flow / see the glow / of flames ever burning bright
The boat that carries the two of them is so thin, and so new that the fragrance of cedar permeates her senses even amidst the roil of waves. The boat bounces high – once, then twice, but she is not afraid for Mother’s arms are around her and she is singing.
/ on the swift / river’s drift / broken memories alight /
She has never been held like this before and so selfishly, despite the urgency of the situation, wants it to continue just a little longer. For the water to throw them off course if that’s what it takes. Still, Mother’s grip on her loosens, her song coming up short:
/ hear my call / the throne’s fall /
Ah, child. We are here.
She is held no longer but still she gazes up. Mother smiles gently, lit by the light of a thousand stars. Her words are stern but kind.
“Now, now, no dawdling. You may be my smallest but you are brave from head to foot. Go on ahead, and Mother will catch up soon enough.”
She thinks to disobey. A thought that had never occurred to her before.
But she does not.
It is another first, of the many regrets to follow.
The Dark Hero Lunatic, who is a sinner, performs the bonus track! It's different from his usual "cool" image. You may see an unexpected side...?
