Akvsua
Follow me into a secret place
Where empires thrive
Where kingdoms fall
Hush, make haste,
nightfall looms
and this puzzle must be solved.
Into the murky waters,
I beckon you
Wade deeper,
till you are soaked
through and through.
Immerse into me, into this, into us
Sink into the unknown,
for this you must
Trust as I drown you further,
stay still do not thrust.
In melanin you were formed,
in melanin you are reborn.
