Myrkur

I was in darkness so darkness I became.
I was darkness and darkness was the only thing I was.
They were light. They were wind. They were heat. They were frost. They were creation.
I was free. They were trapped.
I saw them look into my wounds. The faint light that they pierced through me. I saw them strechting towards me, reaching higher and higher yet tgey would never reach me. They had a liking to look at my wounds in joy. They gathered and celebarted.
Celebrated with fire.
Celebrated with lightning.
Celebrated with light. Light that chased me away from them. Far away into the corner of their rotten villages and cities. Further away into their catacombs and sewagers.
They feared me. Light shall guide their feet and protect them from me. I was dangerous. Unpredictable. Hiding all evil within me. I saw the fear in the smallest when they saw me approach.
Giant eyes running around wild. In fear. In wonder. In panic. Reaching for their guide. Their fire. Their light. I would not reach them anymore. They would be safe from all harm.

I wonder if they envied me.
Trying to reach me. Stretching their limbs up and up. Spreading fingers reaching for my wounds. Those wounds which seemed so small for them. Yet it were millions and millions all over me, leaking what they desired most. Light. Pale white light.
But no matter how far they reached, they never touched me. But I was touching them.
I never needed to stretch. Never needed to spread. I claimed again what was stolen by them when their lights went out.
Into their forests I came and reclaimed what was mine.
Into their cities I came and reclaimed what was mine.
Into their cities I came and reclaimed what was mine.
Into their body I came and reclaimed what was mine.
But they grew fast. So grew their fear. And their light.
Now I no longer could reclaim what was mine. Lighted forests. Bright ways and streets. Bright homes. Even their body should soon be enlighten.
Soon they consumed my forests and meadows. My rivers and seas. My caves and holes. Soon all what was mine was consumed by light.
They grew more and more. Caged me in their rotten corners. Blamed me for all evil and rotten in their world. They claimed it as theirs.
They stole the home I once gave to them. Accused me of crimes I would never do to them. I tried to sooth them as I let their beloved light slowly consume me with pale white stabs and streams. I let myself get colored in the most beautiful and wanted colors of them.
But they forgot about me. In their cities, big and white. Bright screens in front of them. Lost every connection to my natural being. Forgot about their fear. For now they became light and chased me from their home.

But I saw it coming. They became blind of the danger. They acted like moths that fly right into their bright death.
Their beloved light consumed their world.
Consumed their forests and streams.
Consumed their cities of white.
Consumed their homes.
Consumed their bodies.
I awaited this day. For long I watched them vanish and burn.
But as light left my time had come again. The time to reclaim what was left.
Reclaim their ashes.
Reclaim what they once were and will be once again.

They are in darkness so darkness they become.
I am darkness and darkness I shall always be.
