Affirmations from Paradigm by Invillith

Climbing from a well
From which the shadows reign
Honor bound
With conscience just and clarified

Batting tired eyes
To the welcoming sun
On defense
Still of remnant antagony

The bite of ceaseless ache
Would dare to concede
So fairly prompting
Analogy with firm suspicion

Penance served
Or grace of circumstance
Palms outstretched
To grasp at what is now

Oracular sense proves true
Countless instance
Account for such conclusions
Vindication clashing perplexity
Thoughts suppressed
To embrace affirming warmth

I cannot help but wonder
The validity of these raptures
I pray it be not mere mirage
Melting to it nonetheless

How rampant
The waves of this mind are
Submerging
In cold tides of bedlam
Gasping for breath in the constance
Grasping for life above the surface

For once
Calm these storms
I want to feel
Discernment still scouring
I want to feel
Skeptical retorts
Just let me feel

Oh how the trials obscured
My once innocent hopeful insight
While having dragged the stones
Trying to soothe the rope burns
From bindings tight

Departing tribulation now

Stretching up towards the canopy
Soaking in the beams of light
Pouring as gold
Through verdant seams

Here is where
My principles were founded on
Far from shallow artifice
Shall I recall what's true again

Will you still remember
Will your heart of light still remain
Treading through terrestria
With grit and gnashing
Against the pain

Fear the path not
O luminous one
The immortal spark you are
Cannot ever be undone

Thus take shelter
In the safety of affirmation
