Whirlpool in the Dark Sea of Forever
A poem that Dena wrote that mirrors her thougs of the planet Zaatlahn.
Laughter peals, carried on salt-laden breezes over the changing dunes, reverberating across the dark sea of forever - reminders where dreams have been. Watching, hoping, grasping at that which can be, she stands ankle-deep, absorbing the warmth - long, slow waves foam across a sun-slicked beach. The ball of fire dipping, reflecting, glinting off the save-smoothed sand - mirror-images of children, chasing in ever wilder coiled paths, capturing that which will be. Twilight entwining forever-blackened waters, twisting, nebulous - that which transcends the gravity-bound whirlpool can be.

Across the Dark Sea of Forever
In the prologue of Starlit Destiny, Dena's mother Serenadya sings an ivarune about the Kivlaki Maeteaki.
This is the poem that was in her heart while she's singing that song. She's looking forward to a time the Kivlaki Maeteaki will reunite her with her husband.
I will think of you with fondness,
When Twin sisters shine on eventide.
I will remember you with clarity,
As the stars guide my way.
I will rejoice in you with purity,
As rains replenish the Mother.
True thoughts,
Despite our human minds.
Everlasting truths,
Despite our human memories.
Pure energy,
Despite our human bodies.
Enhanced by the passage of time,
The brilliance of our essence,
The aural connection,
Unfurled, will blaze,
Across the dark sea of forever.
And when next we meet,
I will love you even more.
