The eagle upon

The Highest peak

Replaced by the vulture

Black wings fly

Cavernous and dark

My screams echo for centuries

Among dead roots and damp earth I rest

Cascaded,

Bleak sorrow

Transcending life and death

I’ve passed away

But life’s pain has found me

From my dead heart

A dread spire rises

The peak grown from pain

Reaching towards the heavens

Ever searching for peace

Away from the anguish of earth

An eternal perch for the seeker of death

I rot away at the base of the spire
