Dear Mother Dark, do you look down upon me, now? Do you…
““Dear Mother Dark, do you look down upon me, now? Do you see me, your child? Do you smile, to see me so broken? I have, after all, repeated your fatal errors of old. Yielding my heart, succumbing to the foolish dream - Light’s dance, you longed for that embrace, didn’t you? And were betrayed. You left us, Mother to eternal silence. Yet... Mother Dark, with this unveiling, I feel you close. Was it grief that sent you away, sent you so far from your children? Men, in our deadly, young way - our appalling insensitivity - we cursed you. Added another layer to your pain. These steps you walked them once. How can you help but smile?””
