I stood before the alter of industry
Staring up at the monoliths of achievement
Aspiring to their heights
Within the shadows but glimpsing sun
Then transformed both self and soul
But the metamorphosis was incomplete
And left between two existences was I
Time past and turmoil ensued
Till the next time I stared down the ravenous beast
This time a chill overtook me
And the desire to flee
To retreat from the burnt earth beneath my feet
Once again to the shores I tread
To look upon the vastness of tomorrows
While the embers still smolder behind me
Burning my back as I stand and wait for the tide to return
