Covenant

The mingling of souls
The coming together of separate entities
Entanglement of life’s pleasures and hardships

A ship sets sail across the unknown
And settles upon the sands of a mystic land
So captivated are its crew men of the exquisite nature of the land
They decide to manifest upon it their dreams and visions

The island serves as medium for continued existence
Allowing for the divulgement of everyone
The gathering of sources never before palpable

Separation takes place
Communities within the separated arise
Cultures within the communities bloomed
A familial bond within members
A spirit of discontent deep within the crevices of the earth

Time passes and the elements wither
The surface of paradise has now become weathered and filthy
Tarnished with the dirt and scum of human waste
Sullen and dreary are the skies, reflecting the resentment that encumbers the land

The crater high up churns one day; spewing forth ash, fire and brimstone
The ooze of liquid anger cleanses the lands and placates the demonic invaders
Those that fight against it were tumbled and burnt mercilessly
Those that flee lost the very structure that kept them alive

“Haste, haste O mortal beings to your vessel and sail away,
Thou shall never be content with those whom you do not know!”

Such is the rule on human covenants

Cohabitating with a habitual cohabitant in an inhabitable habitat
Such is the story of human covenants
