Ascent of Autumn - Awakened

I stand
Watching the waves
Washing away
Every dream I ever made
I have awakened
From eternal sleep
I rise
Destined to die
Built for demise
Facing the overwhelming tide
But I will ascend for eternity
In the reverberating silence of isolation
I stand alone
Among echoes
Of everything I was and will be
It exists in me
But I feel the weight eluding me
Upon the threshold of my heavenly throne
I see the stars still out of reach
Unlike the sea
Mirroring the heavens corporeally
I finally perceive this destiny of absurdity
And as the final breath of
My ambition escapes me
I finally perceive my destiny
As I become entombed
Upon my throne
I fade into despondency
But still I
Stand
Watching the waves
Washing away
Every dream I ever made
I have awakened
To my apathy
Amidst the darkness of my desolation
I feel the throes of destiny
Beseeching me
There is no paradise to run to
No place to escape the futility of my being
Open my eyes just to realise I've died
Chasing purpose to the surface just to see
In chasing a dream of ascendency
I only found apathy
Emptiness pervading every fabric of me
As the albatross awakens tearing my heart out
Leaving me to yearn for heaven, without a dream to
Comfort me from the truth that heaven's not there
The ocean shimmers, tantalising
Glistening in the light of the stars out of reach
Staring down from the heavens, uncaring
Is a destiny of apathy the only thing awaiting me
As the final breath of
My ambition escapes me
I finally perceive my destiny
As I become entombed
Upon my throne
I fade into despondency
I'm awakened
I stand
Watching the waves
Washing away
Every dream I ever made
I will ascend
As I descend
I will descend beneath the break
Return me to the bliss of the depths
Where, in ignorance, my life made sense
Unbound from erroneous dreams, yet now
Emptiness is all I feel
I stand
Watching the waves
Washing away
Every dream I ever made
I have awakened
From eternal sleep
I rise
Destined to die
Built for demise
Embracing the encroaching tide
I will ascend
As I descend
I will ascend beyond the sea
