Reprieve
Reprieve
The spirit was not quelled
The mind's eye shined like Polaris
The physical was supple
And then
The glares and stares subtly
Turned into callous indifference
As the ascent became the descent
Mercurial thoughts flood my brain
Filling me with fear
Peace alternates with panic
Like a seesaw balancing on the shimmering thread of life
With care I prepare to dare to submit
To the bleak blackness of eternity
But once again before I touch the depths of darkness
I soar to the heavens like a golden swan
To my castle in the sun
On reprieve I wait for my final plunge

The spirit was not quelled
The mind's eye shined like Polaris
The physical was supple
And then
The glares and stares subtly
Turned into callous indifference
As the ascent became the descent
Mercurial thoughts flood my brain
Filling me with fear
Peace alternates with panic
Like a seesaw balancing on the shimmering thread of life
With care I prepare to dare to submit
To the bleak blackness of eternity
But once again before I touch the depths of darkness
I soar to the heavens like a golden swan
To my castle in the sun
On reprieve I wait for my final plunge
