Trembling In The Threshold

Mining mournful depths
Returning with the jewel
A relic of jubilation
Obscene radiance burning unbearably bright
Illumination
The burden of reflection
You can’t take this with you

What lies beyond this trembling threshold?

Be not afraid
Be not afraid
Be not afraid
This is the way of all flesh

Fissures spread across fractured firmament
Clouds congeal into concrete
The sun sputters weeping scarlet shades
Ruptile rubescent
Cherished impermanence

When did the aching begin?
When will this aching end?
When did the aching begin?
When will this aching end?

Your jaw hangs open as heaven descends
Your jaw hangs open as we begin our ascent
