Defying all logic    Defying gravity    The serpent trickles in liquid form    Scalding and blue it slithers untouched    Living but never breathing       Weaving between the roots    Soaking into the ground    It can see the lights through the fog    And hear the voices far off    Sensing their footsteps as clumsy pulses       Space is flexible    Easy to bend    The snake won't rest until the last light's dimmed    It slinks towards the fogged beams    Icicles are left in its path    Enclosing it's pray in icy cocoons       Defying all logic    Defying gravity    We mustn't let the serpent near    Darkness is a refuge    Hide in the cast-less shadows and wait       And call upon the ambience    An Aurora looms amongst nearby trees    Sparks of energy burn the very air    But we must overcome this elusive nothing    Before it grows into something      Nothing into Something   As wE ROT ICily
