Your retreat marked the final page
Silent truth broke a gilded cage
My resolve met the turning age
Courage stepped from a deeper stage
Frozen breath through a hollow sky
Golden ash where the moments lie
Spirit rose where the tears ran dry
Unbroken life with a clearer eye
No more grief for a borrowed name
No more steps in a losing game
Strength reclaimed from extinguished flame
Heart returned to its rightful frame
Walk your road with a foreign view
I keep light for my chosen hue
Throne stands firm when my soul breaks through
I bow only to the truth I knew
