Risen

Let life be not the end. Let death be the beginning. Let me open my eyes anew, be brave in this new world. Herald me in the bringer of dawn. I wake to the sun.

Cast away the stars. The earth is no place for the heavens. Blue skies are my hope. I set my sights on clouds. That there is beauty on this earth.

I am become me. I am determined to live. So long as the wind does blow shall dusk cease to dawn. And I breathe deeply. The air fills me with life.

My gaze is set upon you. My will unwavering. Fear. Be afraid. Let my eyes strike fear in your heart. Fear your self. Fear the dusk. Fear the darkness that clouds your mind. For I am free. I am not afraid. My eyes shine bright with will.

For I have died. I know what lies beyond the veil. I have seen into the shadows. I have shone my light upon it. I am redeemed. In knowing that darkness is an illusion. And so the sun has risen. It rises at my call.

Weep. Mourn your life that you might live. Fear death. Be afraid. Suffer. And overcome. For death is but the beginning. And die, you must. Be brave and endure. Wake to a risen sun.

Such is the new dawn. To cast light must be a choice. A choice made in death. And I am alive. My light shines bright. For at last, I am free.
