The Respite

The Respite

A break
Between fits of rage
The mind sparks and sprawls
Gorging upon life

A pause in the labor
A lumbering death
The soul must recall
Its unmerciful path

Until damnation
Drowns out the efforts
And the beauty unfolds
In a race to decay

The devilish calm
Will surely
Breed fires anew
