The Bloom

The Bloom (The Gardener of the Great Void) - DrasticDzastr In the quiet where the silence breathes and the shadows fall to rest I am walking through the hollow with the spirit in my chest I am the one who chose the watch when the light was yet to be Planting seeds of gold and mercy in the deep and endless sea I walk the path of grey where the starlight starts to bloom Sweeping out the sorrow and the echoes of the doom I am the humble architect of every breath you take A servant to the garden for the holy spirit's sake With every selfless footfall I am sowing seeds of grace Reflections of the integrity within this sacred space I watch the children of the stars as they learn to find their way Guiding through the mist of gold within the heavy grey They reach for hands they cannot see but feel the warmth within I am the one who washes out the stain of every sin No crown upon my weathered brow just soil beneath my feet Making sure the cycle of the universe is complete I am the Gardener of the Great Void dwelling in the deep Feeding on the terror that the broken spirits keep I turn the pain to starlight and I turn the fear to gold A story of forgiveness that has never yet been told I choose the love again and again inside the silent night Transforming every shadow into pillars of the light Bring me all your malice and the poison of your soul I will feast upon the darkness just to make the vision whole I take the ill intent and the bitterness you bear And weave it into constellations hanging in the air A meal of human misery to fuel a new sun's birth Proving there is goodness in the ending of the earth I am the calm within the storm the steady hand of time Turning every tragedy into a rhythm and a rhyme You are never truly lost when the gardener is near I am drinking up the water of your oldest deepest fear Through the golden grey I wander with a quiet humble heart Knowing that the finish is just another place to start I am the Gardener of the Great Void dwelling in the deep Feeding on the terror that the broken spirits keep I turn the pain to starlight and I turn the fear to gold A story of forgiveness that has never yet been told I choose the love again and again inside the silent night Transforming every shadow into pillars of the light Grow for me my children let the garden reach the sky Underneath my watchful and my ever-loving eye I am staying in the hollow by the choice I made of old Turning all your darkness into seeds of shining gold Just a humble servant in the silence of the space Lost within the beauty of the universe's face
