"... a ritual chant, urging the self to release restraint, embrace the primal, and step forward with renewed grace." - Review of AI.
Where are you now? Within the cold you are stripped Your attention dipped Is this wow? You hide your self away You grumble you have things to say All you need is to allow Hand your fate to the fae You seek still but already own Restricting your beast will leave you alone Tempering your temperament Echoes in the well Is this all you have to sell? You’re never alone How could you be In a world that’s laced with beauty and honesty All we ask is that you show The method in which you grow The silence before the flow The rage before you flew The joy that made you go You are divinity embodied The drop becomes the pond Desires and reality to be married The ocean calls you to sing her song Deep within you despise your reflection You know the source of your exhaustion Honor your power Release and devour Let it fall The crumbling tower Witness the dust embody sighs of relief Behold earth’s crust ending its grief All that remains Is what always was All you retained What you contained Why you regained Who you detained A memory of your glow You arrived The start of the race Feeling deprived Destiny’s grace Stepping up from where you fell Leaving behind decaying smell Taller you stand Rebuild your land Show us your fangs Time to feast in bloody rain Let it be your last advance Before nothing’s left to gain
I decided to read another one of your pieces this evening. So glad I chose this one! You have captured and bottled up the essence of life in the spell of your words. It is quite beautiful and magical, graceful and perfect.
