A Descent Into The Underworld
May 17, 2019
A knight in anguish
Left behind to rot and decay
Appears to languish
Like a sunflower on a cloudy day
Locked in a fortress of torment
No longer the master of his mind
He makes the slow descent
Into the strange underworld of those whom pain has made blind
A caged emissary he has become
Existing between one second and the next
His heart beating like a drum
In his misery, so utterly perplexed
In the deepest part of the underworld
He inhales the musty air
Lays down, cold and furled
Grasping at his chest, where there lies a tear
His heart has left its chamber
His soul is splintered and bare
His spirit now much tamer
Left with nothing but a prayer
