Day breaks to a frozen dawn again

Woken from dreams of a paradise lost

Teeth clenched, face numb

Breathe deep as the cold chill fills my lungs

Black heart, pale eyes

Bleak horizon under nuclear skies

Banished to nowhere

Pierced by the frigid storm

Bitter days before me

Forever I shall roam

Light seeps through a sky of ash

A pale shine, a vital sign

Creation persists in the face of calamity

Life creeps through a sea of trash

Once maligned, now cured of mankind

Catastrophe or compulsory tragedy

Banished to nowhere

Pierced by the frigid storm

Bitter days before me

Forever I shall roam

Shipwrecked on an isle of nothing

I drown in a frozen sea

Heart stops, lungs collapse

Light fades in cathartic serenity

Is this a karmic judgement for past immortality?

No, it’s a second chance

A reawakening
