“Destiny Sings Its Return” (A Poem)

by Martin Anton Smith

It Rises From The Black Abyss

No One Knows What It Is

Or From Which Void It Appeared

But It’s Mission Is Just


And You Sense It’s Fair

A Voice Inside Your Head Says

“I Am Looking For You”

Is That The Beast Or a Saviour?


It Circles The Skies & Lands

Its Tasks Are Due Today

It’s Looking for the Walking Dead

As It Approaches You From Above


From a Hazy Distance

You Ask Yourself

Am I The One?

The Answer Becomes Clear


The Beast Has Called Your Name

As the Beast Closes Its Jaws

It’s The Last Thing You Hear

A Crisp Clear Cracking Of Your Skull


But This Is Just The Beginning

For Your Life Was But a Shadow

Of a Hidden Realm All Around

Now You’re Finally a Soul Again


It’s a Sinking Sombre Feeling

That Your Life Was But A Joke

So Nothing Came Of Nothing

Under Your Friend The Beasts Yolk


Hiding In Your Inhuman Cocoon

You’ve Played The Wrong Hand

All Too Cool & Now Your Dead

Destiny Sings Its Return
