Seeking

Seeking for a handhold.
A safety rope.
While climbing up a cliff-face
As slick as soap.
Seeking for a light
To illuminate
All that's ahead
And reveal my fate.
Seeking for a blade
To lash out at my foes,
I will pull them down with me
Amidst my deathly throes.
Seeking for a flame
To burn away my sin.
Scorch it, chase it
Cleanse me from within.
