As He Wakes

The Beast, his slumber is ending
His dream, brought him confusion
Gasping- the beast awakens
Seeing- is like a rebirth

Trembling, he tries to stand
Remembers- the many times before
His body- (it) craves the same again
Energy- his lifeblood from the ice
He straightens- now stands within his cave
A giant- thrice the height of man
A servant- to no-one but himself
No solace- a "life" he's always known

Peering- beyond the entrance
Of his, frigid cold cave
He knows what, is out there waiting
His journey- must soon begin

The first step- towards the light
His muscles, tighten in pain
His system- is near atrophy
He pushes- beyond the ache
(Now) walking- he's nearly left his home
The snowfields- and mountains he now sees
Wasteland- or near enough is the
Place he, lives for near all (his) time

FOR THIS IS HIS SECOND COMING
JUST - ONE - MORE
UNTIL HIS CYCLE CHANGES
AND - HE - ENTERS…

The phase of his life, where he must leave his home- and feast on the bodies of those creatures whose appearance is akin to his- and they
don't…even…KNOW!!!

Daylight- now surrounds him
Impending- is his journey
Deep breath- the air is divine
Looks east- where he's destined

Begins - (to) walk and prepares
For his imminent speed!!!
