I read the sky while standing still. I turn without moving. Time obeys me.

I can secure and hold mighty things of stature, trace me back and find out where you came from.

I have been a form of currency I’m essential for life, but too much of me can lead to death

I cradle elixirs, dark or bright, my stem elevates me into sight. I witness vows, toasts, and lore, held in hands, I ask for more.

An endless flow, A boundless river, I crumble empires, I stumble kings, before my might, even the mightiest quiver
