This Verdant Coil

Ache of undying apathy
Slovenly soul
Forsake this life, resign from light and mortal duty
Take self abdication, wallow in sloth and ruin

Farther
Deeper, the forest grows
Emerald pillars of earthly judgment, scold

A condemnation of sheer indifference
A path forged, callous and cold
And as winds draw listless, as above
Beneath the fissured earth, so below

Sunken, before the mire
Whispering "repose"
Renewing breath, of all life
Ridding its weary toll
Twisted, silent reeds lurking
Take their hold
Feel warm embrace, break surface
Pull flesh from bone liberate me of purpose and plight

Rebirth
Once idle hands, grasp at the air
Expel the silence from my lungs
Into the soil, breathe hollow prayer
In the mire, forgotten by the sun

Wake up now

Wake
Shed this dream and its mortal coil
Enter the lucid collective, in pulsing soil
Stretching thin, alone within and without form
Faceless, piercing the earth, a burden no more

Outward: rind from skin, desiccated and torn
Inward: under bleak consciousness, a sullen, fragile core

A resignation to indifference
A soul bound, rotted and old
And as the pillars reach into the sky
Beyond the mire, never known

No
No semblance to remember
A visage lost, overgrown and exorcised
Seize the bones and drive them deep into the fertile earth

Rebirth
Once idle hands, grasp at the air
Expel the silence from my lungs
Into the soil, breathe hollow prayer
In the mire, forgotten by the sun

Forgotten
Body and mind intertwined and dissolved
Relinquishing life, a mercy to languish eternal inside
Internally, cry out, silent forever
Captive of the mire
Tethered to to all things
Rid of desire and devotion bare, the green man's suffering
Forgotten, forsaken the sun

Forsaken the sun

Once idle hands, grasp at the air
Expel the silence from my lungs
Into the soil, breathe hollow prayer
In the mire, forgotten by the sun

Take
Take the path of indolence
Fade
Without reverence
Shade
Forever bask in lights absence
Wait
An eternity spent
Waiting
