Experience the new air

As you rise

From a delusional slumber

The cycle of life

Try to notice the subtle changes

Surroundings differ slightly

But now you’re alone, uncovered

Vulnerable, unsightly

Hiding is futile

Your shell is weak

Ascend to descend

Don’t resist the urge

Insist on the end

The beginning never existed

You disappear

A buffet for the insects

The water extends

To rise into catastrophe

Ascend to descend

Observed by “beings” advanced

Melting into the grounds of where you came

Unexcused absence of hope

(as you) Ascend to Descend
