Twilight by JLF Maikaho
Through the Isles of perdition
And the abyss of loss
Through the dark days of confusion
And the twilights of dusk
Though I traverse the multiverse
An ardent seeker of Ambrosia
Let not my soul depart from Shamayim
Even if it's the last part of me
Holding unto, a piece of your shadow
Ambrosia: (Greek mythology) The food or drink of the gods, said to confer immortality
Shamayim: The Hebrew word for heaven
