Ascent
A simple touch
And I've awakened from my slumber.
The light before my eyes
Penetrating, blinding,
Flooding my entire being.
I feel the darkness in me
Cleansed from my blood;
My twisted soul struggles against the inevitable
As it wraps about you
And we're joined as one.
My blood flows red,
Not black,
And I watch you spread your wings.
I release Death's cold hand,
Embracing Life's touch instead
As you kiss me and we fly,
Ascending into Forever.
