Epic or Tragedy

What should we have expected from new ascents? You think there is simple safety in messages sent? Melancholic waves descend, lonely veins sink in, If I was simple before, you'd be able to see, See through the extremities that bounded me. But how could a flower begin these internal spins? Bounded by piety to seek love away from sin, Destined, we hope that this one will sink in. If life's a play then this one is just pretend, And the toil of tragedy, revealed at play's end. But if this life is an Odysseun ode, Then oh! the wonders to be told! For each new ascent, a heroic tale, On the way down, purified hail. For we have cast Circe like Jonah's whale, And fly alongside a dove's tail, Whose wings spread in glorious white, Revealing Leila, mistress of the night.
