Book of the Swarthy Cassonade: Chapter II - On a Dreamy Day We Encountered a Plague

A sleep became a burden on our eyes, so we traveled afar
Beyond every star man can imagine, trickling down the boundaries
Perplexed by our inanimate floundering, we gnawed the limits to reach
The safe spot where nothingness shrouds our permuted felicity

A dream gently covered the façade and fed our hunger to strive
For all those years, an echo from the silent plate choked the void
Embraced our conflict with a mere interest to imbibe
We never got absolved of our tendency to implode with unrest

A plague preyed upon the candid dream and devoured us along
We stood naked to our decimation, obeyed the cordial reception
None heard us beyond the stars as we yelped a silent cry
With a chuckle, we became one with the receding tide

We thought we were.. we were none..
