shade

scurry into the heat
boiled in the sun..run
looking into the bleak I realize
grey is descending on me
I welcome it as a cloak

the mists rain down
inside them, I see others like me
to walk into the light is foolish
revealing anarchy is treachery

spell on the air and send your magic directly and personal
casting wildly is foolhardy
in the dense hate of this dominion
we observe as the Gregori do
and make suggestions

to cure you of what ails
it would be best if you remembered your immortality
take your time in the eternal bliss

on the winds are instructions
call the winds this is your power
forgetting you are no mortal
lends to your sadness

we are connected through the communal pool of thought
purify your ritual
mustn't muddy the waters with a mortal affair of the heart

send your riders out and collect information
in the tomes over the celestial
only the council knows if humans shall survive

getting wrapped up in the particulars
will cause your soul to grieve
interfere when you are able
but remember fate will have her way

so on a shady afternoon
and you see the vampires descend
remember it is natural selection
you can't save them all
