The Inverted Ascension

The absolute absence of light Is not to be found above but below. In a world hidden from our sight Beneath the calm surface of the sea. With awe does man look upward To the myriad of stars in the sky. While he trembles in silent fear Of the horrors lurking under his feet. Maelstroms in the bottomless depths Echo with murmurs of the ancient ones. From deep down they call your name Tempting you to join them in their realm. Be baptized with the primordial waters Let them wash off the stench of humanity. Ascend deeper, and rise farther down, Until the darkness and you become One.
