Compendium of Light: Prayers from the Shadows

Sentient beings are numberless,
I vow to free them.
Delusions are inexhaustible,
I vow to end them.
The Shadows are boundless,
I vow to explore them.
The Shadows are strength,
I vow to embody it.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Shadows mend this broken flesh
Heal this wounded soul
Shadows stitch this skin together again
As darkness soothes the soul

~*~*~*~*~*~


Those that have come to the shadows take heed,
We do not always bleed and suffer
The shadow can be kind
A shield against the harsh light.
Take succor from the shadows
You stand in the dark, do not fear it.

~*~*~*~*~*~


I spill blood in the darkness
and let the droplets fall
A gift to the shadow
Through sacrifice I learn.
