Transcendence

The sun soared Into dark moist green Aflamed my mind A thought was born Under the misty roof of dreams The others remained like accursed In deepest sleep Within darkness I crept out Over the dreamers begone Into solitude away Outdoors, my stare solidified The forest was ranged By a poignant cold veil And the firs drowned silently Under darkness I ventured forth A spirit for reason and verity Within the misty breath of trees I passed through the covert Crowned and free The shelter, dim and distant I looked into my heart Saw bitterness But bravery wasn't washed away No Transcendence I espied now my path My fate is nourished Not by sheltered sleep But dark obscurity A way into an uncertain realm A reign of whispering shadows This may fill my craving For transcendence and spirit
