Rise was written for a prompt on Instagram - “Poetry by the sea”.
I chant poetry by the sea
as waves crash against
my temple, rejuvenating,
alleviating the devil’s reign.
Lightning strikes my spine
while ravens descend,
devouring my flesh.
My eyes behold time’s
delusions, pulling me apart
as I rise amidst the storm.
