Ascent

The freezing rain ceases to fall on earth
The raindrops
glitter like stars through the leaves
The man leans against
a high cliff side
And mutters alone in an echoing deep
voice

The man recalls in madness
The past of bleak
oblivion
The figment of intoxicated mind
The gruesome
murder of purity

And the guilt weighs his
heart
Ending lives without judgement
Entrusting the soul
to mercy
Watching as the time passes by

The man
raises his head in sorrow
And stares beyond the
cliffs
He dreams of the timeless fall
Air that frees the
fallen soul
The ground on his tired sight
Turns into
vast darkness
The man gathers his last strength
And
takes the first step of the ascent
