The Shadowlit Realms
| Labyrinth of the Mind |
The Death of a TribeThe Death of a TribeA world once held inside, cradled through the avenues of the mind, breathing through memories, racing across the body's planes. So fragile an existence for a nation contained within this solitary vessel, all their knowledge, joy, and sorrows, the many faces now dead live solely through a lone survivor. Vanishing as soon as the last light darkened behind the eyes, with no children to carry the spark beyond she became grandmother of a tribe, keeper of traditions which stretch back through time. The world could shudder and cry at the loss, a civilization left now only scattered bones, gone forever a language which will have no voice to carry its melodies. How many stories now will be left to fall away into the dust, how soon will it be forgotten, along the paths they once walked, just as their footprints have been swept away, so too will the traces of their long yet brief existences on this earth disappear. 11:38 PM - 2/7/2010 - post comment
