When Summits Arise

As we
we wait staring beyond
marching
borderland the heir of life
feign
weakness then nerves brace
successor
time and wake
for we hath shed
shed of excess
rid the vice
of guilt and fear
gain prevail a moor of shadows
called is absolution
withstand the final
ends of the heartstroke
earthen ways
lavishly reaped
summit enshrined
requiscat but in life
lore profanity
avengeful laughter
