‘Tis but the cycle of life, timeless. The river left its bed; ‘Tis but the cycle of life, bewildered. Times of end and renewal have come; Unstoppable and merciless is the Reaper Crushing all that stands in its path; For it’s the marching of time and the cycle of life For the strong perish and the weak survive.
An ephemeral occurrence in a vast cycle; A concept one could never fully grasp; My redemption! A punishment, a cleansing for my sins. As it strikes, the world around me crumbles; As I go through Hell and Heaven, oceans and mountains, stars and planets; I see It. A Forgotten Deity, a Harbinger of Chaos, a Creator of life. What it is, I do not know; What it does, I do not know; In a crow-white space, I feel It all around me Its voice echoing from a distant past, Its words vibrating through my mind and being, And hitting me as a relic of another space A revelation: It’s all mine, for I am the end and rebirth of this world.
A poem I wrote inspired by W.B. Yeats' "Second coming". Tell me what you think of it!
