Reclamation
Fleeing into solitude
his excuses were lost
eyes pointing inward
embracing the cost
Intrepidly deeper
the cave to unmask
as demons and angels
are slayed in his path
Alone and rebirthing
both fury and rage
a hero emerges
rejecting the sage
Released from self-loathing
all ego begone
polarity crumbling
the right and the wrong
From out of the lake
of reflection to rise
a thunder triumphant
o’er truth and its lies
To wander eternal
in godlike refrain
old dogma retendered
—his spirit reclaimed
