L'aura del Campo

Kryptid [31]

Kryptid

I write about you in invisible script
worn into rock over thousands of centuries.
I saw your kind born and will be there when they die.
This tale isn't finished.

You call me by a hundred names and a thousand others
long forgotten by relatives who you can't remember,
those myth-makers who handed down warnings
that I still existed.

I've outlived them all. And now you search
for my secret hiding place and for immortality.
They aren't for sharing, but I'll give you the same hints
that I gave long ago.

I'm everywhere around you. I hide where you never look.
Those who depend on eyes to see will never find me. I'm closer
than your life's vein. The script I etch upon your soul's indelible,
my words eternal Truth.
