Apotheosis

Transcendence

Apotheosis

idealism of youth

mélange of 
dreams and prayers,
disparate yet intertwined,
assembled in their thunderous ranks
to echo past myriad
gleaming colonnades that
buttress evermore eternity

self-betrayal and realization

stolid mind shattered
by coruscant might,
and one's irreverent yearn
in shards was rent asunder,
bereft of merit but who
transformed amid the filth,
banality dismissed

sorrow and reconciliation

grieving stream of years
torn from Chronos’
pavilions tattered,
first estranged but then
with fairness stemmed
life's passing entourage,
muted those who would upbraid

apotheosis

were you there
you might have seen
time begging after destiny,
which turned aside
what once had been,
transcendent he continued then
past worlds without an end
