Fall And Rise

The symbolism of what transpired

A representation of what's meant to be

Wilted, withered, like it was once before

Set free from its destiny

To grow, to search, to find

Inner peace and satisfaction

In the pinnacle of the mind

Direction, then distraction

Fall and rise, prominence, demise

A premise built on true lies

Realism, existentialism, but above all pragmatism

The groundwork for the highest possible comprehension

Life's mystery, secrecy, treachery

The foundation of all proven knowledge

Like water from a bitter sweet spring

First, there's the sweetness, then there's the sting

To be, to know, to live

Existence independent of free will

Understanding the nature of harmony

Perfection achieved when all stands still

The symbolism of what's to come

A representation of what now is

Unspoken answer to rhetorical questions

A basis for scrutiny

Unrest, confusion, disorder

Traits of the twisted human psyche

Like leaves on trees they will fall

For cause and effect goes without being told

Inevitability predicts that chaos will dwell

When you open the gates to universal hell

Never mind what's intended, you never can tell

A soul that knows this all to well

Rise beyond, let matters fall

Out of mind, out of sight, out of knowledge

As foretold, magnificence unfolds

And now we await demise
