Awakened Sleeping Giant

They said he peaked & fell off the wall but he's only getting started Still hitting his target audience while in hibernation is a riddle that has them puzzled The muzzle is off as he barrels toward winter with more spring in his step than before the fall He hardly recalls the names & faces that spoke negatively along the way after all is said & done Negativity can't see the light of day because it's blind to the sun that shines within His veins under skin are like vines on the wall of the divine reaching for skies in vain again & again Ice water flows through them like rivers that are calm yet wild & hard to tame The whole world is caught in his undertow while he keeps his head above false waters that flow all the same If asked most don't know the sky isn't blue because they haven't been taught what's true Beneath the unreachable sky he hovers in the in between speaking truth In between darkness & light the sun dances with the moon while he moves in unison to a universal tune He blooms regardless of the weeds & tares that flower knowing all the while towers are destined to come crashing down He's awake & standing tall after a period of rest towering above tests disguised as beds Laughs have ceased now that lies lay bare covered in dirt in their resting place Imposters can only impose for so long before being exposed & revealing a certain type of resting face Copying cats are put to bed in those they made while sleeping dogs lie watching a giant rise from the grave
