Entropic Hallucinations - Mare Cognitum

Rise

Bear witness to the astral chaos

Echoing within your once-sacred halls

Heat embracing

Endless horizon

Light, a curse

In ailing landscapes

Not unlike a bleeding wound

A festered scab wrought with disease

Sky agape

Miasmic windows

Whispered though

Obscure dimensions

A landscape withering in the clutch of an arthritic pale grasp

Tremorous hands grasping for

Once-held brilliant suns of endless luster

Now an ailing mass of blight

Repugnant in their hideous forms

Carrying a blinding plague

To unleash upon barren earth

Futility in endless struggle

Driven by unconscious reason

An incredible weight such as this

Is a planet drifting in empty space

Devoid of kindling and ash

The plague is never born

And yet it scours the landscape

With unspoken splendor

Anxious molding of the clay

Into the image of Sisyphus

Heat embracing

Endless horizon

Light, a curse

In ailing landscapes

Not unlike a bleeding wound

A festered scab wrought with disease

Sky agape

Miasmic windows

Whispered though

Obscure dimensions

A landscape withering in the clutch of an arthritic pale grasp
