Reclamation

Fleeing into solitude

his excuses were lost

eyes pointing inward

embracing the cost

 

Intrepidly deeper

the cave to unmask

as demons and angels

are slayed in his path

 

Alone and rebirthing

both fury and rage

a hero emerges

rejecting the sage

 

Released from self-loathing

all ego begone

polarity crumbling

the right and the wrong

 

From out of the lake

of reflection to rise

a thunder triumphant

o’er truth and its lies

 

To wander eternal

in godlike refrain

old dogma retendered

—his spirit reclaimed
