Ascend

Bathing a new trophy

Not shining but illuminating

All that any could see

Connecting all

That ever attempts to bind

Leaving lost life behind

And seeking reconciliation

Pity to those not traveled here

Depriving a conscious

A being of higher divinity

If such a Highness deserves assumption

A separation of wills

A sacrifice of ego

The offer of unity

One’s crushing of virtue

One dimension of serenity

Another of chaos

All the same

A new world forged

But not without toll

Exhausting work of soul

And with intangibility

Tampered, but indestructible

If defenses are set into place

Protection comes with a price

With no absolute value

Attempts can be made

But it just remains merely said

No desire to win

Only to draw

Then put down the shield

And topple the wall

Piece by piece

The void will fill

Until the day we decease

We, at our own throne, will kneel

Thank you, willweb! Yeah, I've decided to begin writing again. I'm publishing some of my older work as I am writing new pieces. This was written my senior year of high school. I like to take inspiration from past mindsets, yanno?

Sounds cool to me. Sometimes I go back, but what I usually find isn't worth repeating. :)
