In the end, I am but one among none.
So I go, gaze affixed to this brand new horizon,
Feet finding purchase amongst the sands of time and ruin.

Above, feathered flocks surge toward the heavens
Foresaking this charcoal-chilled wasteland of ice and bone.
In the end their Icarus wings, a misguided source of hope. 

I am but one, so I keep sense of self.
Step... breath... step... breath...
I strive, with steadfast focus ahead and beyond, 
While I leave these blistering and hell-whispering winds behind.
A primal urge willing this sad survival on.

In the end, I dare not look back.
For there, a dark portend among the dust,
Lie the wavering imprints of my own obsolescence.
