Analysis of Ascent

The descent into the darkness has ended
Allowing the sun to finally rise,
A burden taken from my shoulders
So I may ascend to claim my prize.
My chains have now been broken
My spirit is now finally free,
For my ascent is that of my destiny
And the ending I really want to see.
Destiny is but the future unmade
A place in history we will one day touch,
For beauty alone can exist without life
Yet life without beauty not as much.
The far away plains call out my name
A whisper that echoes on the wind,
Something old and something new
But nothing for those who have sinned.
So I raise a glass and drink a toast
For the curse has been taken away,
My rising smile becomes my beacon
The only one true and final way.
