The Hollowreach Rhyme #Sunoverse

[Spoken Word] Hush your voice and mind your feet, Don’t hum back what you hear repeat. If the woods feel wide and the stars go dim, Turn around, don’t follow him. Count your breaths, but not out loud, Silence wears a watching crown. If your shadow starts to lag, Drop your gaze and don’t look back. Never answer if called by name, Never step where the ground feels thin. Somewhere past the lantern’s glow Is where the lost ones learn to go. If your laughter feels too loud, Swallow it, don’t make a sound. Joy is bright and easy to see That’s how it finds what’s left of thee. Lock the doors before you sleep, Check the windows, one… then three. If you hear a whispering plea, That is not a voice you need. It promises rest, it promises home, It promises you won’t be alone. But children who listen are rarely found Just quiet shoes on hollowed ground. So close your eyes and stay in bed, Keep your dreams inside your head. Pray the night will pass you by And Hollowreach won’t hear you sigh. [Humming] Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm Hmmmm Mmmm Mmmm
