Tsenumaic

Tsenumaic

Far-reaching

Blind

And short

 

Tsenumaic

Side-stepping fate

Into the arms

Of death

 

Tsenumaic

The last cry of a great man

Barefit of all his glory

As he steps through into the abyss

 

Tsenumaic

Dancing in an electric haze

A phrase of wind

Rising up through the soul

 

Tsenumaic

A thousand years in the company

Of the golden ones

Enough to claw your ears out

And your blind

Eyes too

I applaud your effort and courage.  I recently did that myself in order to distance myself from some problems, and to bring myself nearer some solutions.  I hope the new name works well for you.
