An end to seasons, an end to day and night

Existence reduced to monochrome

Windows lined with frost, breath is mist

In deathly stillness, only silence remains

Pure white crushed beneath weathered heel

Eyes on the pallid horizon

No end in sight, a Sisyphean struggle

Seeking solitude in arms no longer warm

Drawing closer to where the veil is thin

Unsightly horrors seen behind encrusted eyes

No voice remains to scream

And keep the visions at bay

Breaking into a staggered run

As the silence is broken by laughter

One last push beyond mortal limitations

A leap of faith, and the ground becomes the sky

Tumbling endlessly into the void

Exploding into the infinite

A mind opened to aeons unfolding

Losing grip on the mortal plane

Expanding beyond the boundaries of time

Unlocking knowledge lost to the ages

Breaking the barriers and becoming more than human

The veil slams shut, as the interloper retreats

With arcane knowledge, never to be seen by man

Invasion, excision, removal of the host

Before it’s too late

Lungs burning as the same tracks are retread

Attempting to escape from the growing shadow

Reabsorbed into the infinite

A mind trapped in aeons receding

No longer linked to the mortal plane

Confined beyond the boundaries of time
