Climbing the Heights

There is a great noise in the void

There is a great noise in the void
Of mind and men
Mesmerizingly manipulative
It seethes through the soul
Like a sycophant out of control
Sucking all life in its full

Anxiety overloads
The imagination explodes
In the possibilities
The terrors of all existence
Devouring all reality
In its presence

Yet deep in the pit of this despair
There is something out there
Something amidst the chaos
Unscathed by all that's around

It tears through the layers of deceit
And causes all to melt away
Like vapor dissipating
Under its feet

Nothing can overcome it

And slowly breath
Gives birth to breath
And breathes through
This existence

It yearns in its repentance
To join this new resistance
The victor is near
He comes to quench all fear

Now is the hour
Comes haste he to devour
All dread and despair
For all who do not draw near

Come quick then to join him
For he shall surely
Carry thee under his wing
And safe and secure thee
To his kingdom bring

-Joshua Lee Foist
