Rise
Bear witness to the astral chaos
Echoing within your once-sacred halls
Heat embracing
Endless horizon
Light, a curse
In ailing landscapes
Not unlike a bleeding wound
A festered scab wrought with disease
Sky agape
Miasmic windows
Whispered though
Obscure dimensions
A landscape withering in the clutch of an arthritic pale grasp
Tremorous hands grasping for
Once-held brilliant suns of endless luster
Now an ailing mass of blight
Repugnant in their hideous forms
Carrying a blinding plague
To unleash upon barren earth
Futility in endless struggle
Driven by unconscious reason
An incredible weight such as this
Is a planet drifting in empty space
Devoid of kindling and ash
The plague is never born
And yet it scours the landscape
With unspoken splendor
Anxious molding of the clay
Into the image of Sisyphus
Heat embracing
Endless horizon
Light, a curse
In ailing landscapes
Not unlike a bleeding wound
A festered scab wrought with disease
Sky agape
Miasmic windows
Whispered though
Obscure dimensions
A landscape withering in the clutch of an arthritic pale grasp
