Golden Decay
Eyes watched like the hawks in the heavens
But she did not think to stop
Because her destiny ahead beckons
Seven seconds
That’s the amount of time
From the moment she uttered the name
For her to be little more than the blind man’s warning
Everyone has their stone-set limits
But she did not think to wait til morning
Because she didn’t want what it solicits
Forty-two minutes
That’s the amount of time
From the moment she took off
That it took her to reach the end of her fate
A golden decay that glittered like tears
But she did not think to hesitate
Because hesitation meant she had fears
Eighteen years
That is the amount of time
From the moment she was brought to life
That she spent wishing to defy it’s unbreakable will
Life and destiny never like to give up
But she did not think to feel the chill
Because it would mean ignoring apeirophilia
Many millenia
That is the amount of time
From the moment of my creation
That I have lingered with my name for no one to say
Lost to a pair and lost to many minds
But I do not care for the mind’s golden decay
Because it is me they wish to find
All of time
That is the amount of time
From the moment my name left their lips
That I have been waiting to return to the world I left
I have been stopped time and again
But no longer will I be so bereft
For soon they shall finally know my name
Never again will I be stopped by the golden mind’s decay
