From the mountaintop
They cast me
At the bottom
Left for dead
I was wounded
I was bleeding
Inner heart
Filled deep with dread
In the Lake of Penance
Drowning
Gasping
Panic through my head
Slowly touching bottom
Perhaps
My time had finally come
Slowly losing feeling
Everything
Becoming numb
A spark from deep within me
Call it ego
Call it pride
It stoked a fire
Raging
Burning
Inferno from inside
As I neared the breaking surface
Within, I felt it
Beating fast
My heart
It whispered to me
“You have now begun at last”
As I reached the shore
I stared up
In my eyes a light divine
The mount from which you cast me
I’ve returned to claim what’s mine
