In realms unknown, where paths converge,
A deity roams, forever to urge.
Rezmis, The Wanderer, his name resounds,
In whispered tales and echoes profound.
Cloaked in gray, weathered and wise,
His presence enchants, a celestial guise.
Stag's head adorned with antlers bold,
A crown of majesty, a story untold.
Through forests deep and mountains high,
Rezmis wanders, with a knowing sigh.
Animals as companions, his loyal kin,
A symphony of nature, where he has been.
Ever-changing, his form takes flight,
A dance of mysteries, shifting with night.
From mount to ship, in caravans astray,
He traverses worlds, with purpose to sway.
Legend whispers of origins unclear,
The spark of life he carried near.
Born of elements, or pre-universe born,
His enigma lingers, forever torn.
Followers find solace in his gaze,
A guide through nights and weary days.
Embracing change, they heed his call,
With open hearts, they journey, standing tall.
Rezmis, The Wanderer, a beacon of grace,
His footsteps echo in every place.
In solitude, he finds the hidden key,
And through his essence, we are set free.
