clinging to the wreckage of civilization
Meaning: Endurance, guardianship, the inner oath that does not sleep
After the descent, one flame must remain.
This is the vigil—not of light triumphant, but of light unwavering.
Like Heimdall at the edge of the world, you keep watch.
Light a flame today and do not let it go out.
It need not blaze—it only needs to remain.
Say: “I will not leave my post.”
Remember your oath.
Not the one you spoke aloud, but the one you made in silence.
Guardianship is not loud—it is loyal.
Tonight, sit beside the flame.
Let it burn while you do nothing.
Let it know you are still here.
That is enough.
