The Gift.
To life! I raise my glass in appreciation of my fate,
Knowing smiles surround me within the confines of this room,
For each of them have a destiny just like mine to fulfil,
A never-ending path to tread unknown to all but us.
Our forebear sits quietly by the fire warming his ancient bones,
He is the first of us to know the meaning of eternal night,
The first of us to be beyond the grasp of death,
No longer to be a slave to those emotions of a former life.
For love and hate no longer have a meaning in his realm,
Just a hunger that lingers in these darkened hours of eternity,
Sated only by the blood of our former incarnations,
That sustenance to perpetuate our ongoing existence.
A gift given that will last forever.
Darkness.
