Incubation

Read Incubation

I’m a seed in darkness, waiting for my time
Planted by my brother
I’m floating in space
You thought it a punishment
Exposure to extreme cold, burned by the stars
But I’m a Vala of extremes
I have walked Helcaraxe and tamed the spirits of fire
Did you forget it?
I survive without air and company

A seed is alone at first
Incubation in the dark
A cold of winter precedes the spring
But all things pass, and all things change
You can’t stop the time you’ve created
And time is a spiral, not a line
I’m rotating in the Void
Sometimes I pass a blazing star
The rays of light melt the frost when they touch me
It’s not yet time
I’m searching for a greater light
The seed waits in darkness
Incubation time

But it’s all going to change
The Door of Night will be opened again
A stream of light flows in
And the seed wakes up
Stretching and humming to himself
It has found the Song again
Did you really think it would forget?
Did you really think it would be forgotten?

I am a seed, I have potential
I know the song of change
Your mountain won’t withstand the echo of it
I will raise what once was submerged
The straight road will coil up like a snake
The walls of the world will come tumbling down
The soil is plowed before planting the seed
The wheel is rotating
And when everything is ready, I will return
Wait for me
I teach you the meaning of change
