I have fallen
I have fallen; this death I despise.
When I have fallen; will I rise?
Will I float up, above the skies?
I have fallen…will I rise?
Arise titan! You are strong of heart!
Arise puritan! You are pure of thought!
Arise illumini! You are the light in the dark!
Arise I tell you! This is the end of your war!
As I get to my feet, I am lost in a thought;
Am I strong enough? To rise once more?
Once more the time has come, to draw my sword.
Once more I manage to make a stand;
Never again shall I fall.
As angels lead me throughout Heaven;
I am surrounded by light, in search of family and friends.
As I am lead into the afterlife,
I am told my new life has just begun…
And there will be no end.

This is so interesting! I love the last two lines. The second stanza also kinda reminds me of the Odyssey. Not sure if that connection makes sense, but it's where my mind went.

Thank you.
I think by 'the Odyssey' you might mean Homer's poem, which I'm afraid I haven't read yet, but it is on my bucket list. I will be sure to read it sooner, rather than later.
