Progression of Whispers

Misplacing ancient beliefs

Anyway, lost to sacrificial dreams

There was fire in renewed vows and hopes

In the lateness of demons

The revered cries of an existence

Navigating a logistical chaos to a return to intimacy

Tried in the court of indecision

We adopted relative nakedness

Believed in the progression of whispers

Feared latent retribution

And in the end caught gazing at obscurity

Relying on a miracle

And prayers once uttered every other century

And a skeptical observance of treaties

That rarely apply
