: the quality of being eternal, ageless, or immortal
: or the state of being unaffected by the passage of time
Would you speak, insipid Moon,
while I tug at your luminescent hair
nightly to believe. For millions return to
ashes as you spin about.
I plunder below. Mortality bends,
I conquer the Earth, amassing armies under the sun,
while you spin about, a firefly,
as Death sits on the horizon, brave from overuse.
The killing fields of Earth are filled;
I turn my sights above.
What would you pray for?
Would you speak as I close in on you?
Pray for immortality.
While you slip phases into shadow—
just as my daggers, cold steel glinting, arch high.
You always knew I might reach up and pluck you
Right out of the night sky.

So arrogant of you...to think you can just pluck the moon out of the sky... ;P
