Transfiguration In and Out of Worlds

Downcast within primordial depths
Shallow breath after shallow breath
The anguish of emptiness manifest

Within a caustic web of old truths
Retreat into treachery
And succumb to the interregnum

Constructed of shadows
Strangled by thoughts
Subordinate fear
Churning inside
Gasping for release into the wilderness

In the grasp of forfeiture
The light is all but gone
Stasis lies between the vestige
And the altar upon which it rests
Stasis lies at the precipice

Transfiguration in and out of worlds and minds entrapped
Spiralling below what can be redeemed

Exhausted and adrift
Remnants of bitterness choke all life until silent
Nothing to negate this malicious blood
Yet it runs through everything

Awake to exist
Alive to expire
The anguish of emptiness manifest

Breathe, and cover scarred eyes to eclipse death

Awake to exist
Alive to expire
Eclipse death
