Cont. exploration of a hard road travelled

Burning in the gateway
Breath shallow, throat tight
All the distance travelled
No destination made
Sleep lingers just out of reach
I was a king once
Stood upon the mountain
A blink and then free fall
Each Bottom an illusion
A blink and then free fall
I was a king once
