The ground under your feet begins to shake. No one who has sworn loyalty to you is still here. They’re all gone. Solitude is your only companion. Now you start to wonder if you have offered your sacrifices at the right place. Now you start to wonder if you have offered your sacrifices on the right altar. What if you’ve been deceived? The ground under your feet begins to shake. No one who has sworn loyalty to you is still here. What remains now that everything is torn down? What remains now that everything around you is torn down and that which your heart clung to can’t stand? Your life flows away like clouds in the sky that you can no longer see. Soon there will be no one left who remembers you. What remains to fill the hole this life dug in your heart? What remains to heal the wound this knife made in your back? There’s nothing you can find hope in except the one who knows your every wound.
