I Am the Seeker

I was born beyond the borderlines where the names are burned in

stone. Where silence raised me like a mother and the wind

became my home. They watch me with a stranger's fear and cast their

eyes away. But I learned to walk in shadow and I never

lost my way. I am the seeker. Walking where they won't.

I come with no banner. I carry no throne. I rise from

the ruin. Not seeking revenge. But bearing the silence, they try to

forget. I listen to the broken trees through circuits deep in dust.
