Liminal

Above the waters closed and trapped me within my sanctuary
An unexpected, restless void
An unknown destination
For no angels have sang their songs

No regal trumpet has sounded its call
Temptations flames hasn’t left its singe
For darkness surrounds me
Resaturate the color within this life once lost

No longer will I waste my breathe on this charade
Conscious, not reincarnate
Enlightened only of my mistake
No, my final chapter is a blank page

Return, reclaim
For I have brought myself here with such a bitter tasting leap
Through my own volition
No matter the climb

I will overcome death
But what could I say
Every single word will turn to ash and fade away
What could I say?

Will I stand there and watch my life end this way?
I’ll hoist the anchor and be the life in these tattered sails
Ascending from this darkness
Passing through the veil

So now the ocean has given up its dead, if only for a moment
And I return to myself
Calling
Well if this world would keep its silence
And the tide below has beckoned me forward
Then I will never escape this instance
But what could I say?
