First off, good title. The word awe itself is indicative of the divine, because it is dual (fear and fascination) yet singular in nature. This divine state is reached by escaping temporal existence as humans, and in that way, our own duality.

I do not remember when it started happening exactly,
The thought and I tango, yet it never attacks me.
Seldom has it asked me, for my opinion is taxing,
It’s riddling is a taxi, and I play a fare in the backseat.
To an affair in the air where the paths meet
If there’s a care, its “prepare” for the fams weak

im not sure if "play" was a spelling mistake or subtle word play in the fourth line, but the simile was decent. The intro makes this easy to get into, and it is clear from the beginning that the wording in this piece is more clear and concise than that of your other works. The last line i quoted here wasnt very clear in its meaning.

And ego be like: “what’ll compare to seeing your fans weep”?
This spans deep, from a slow creep, to synchromysticism and dreams,
Because we are all blind to after it, yet swear upon the purpose of its means.

dope. might be my favorite lines out of this drop.
Quote:
Freud would call it Thanatos, my sub-con self-fulfilling an omen,
Like both a barbarian and comedian sharing the name Conan.
So I see it as serendipity, the universe preparing me for the flight,
And there is nothing more human than to fight this thought’s fright.
See the warriors of ancient times, who would meditate upon it constantly,
for the ways of the fear of death acts as a toxic epoxy glossary.
That stick to and hinder the Spirit’s escape velocity,
We will never elevate until we accept the fate our bodies see.

did not enjoy "toxic epoxy glossary" tbh, although you did carry the thought into the next line. Ive enjoyed this type of dense rhyming from you in the past, but here it distracts from the meaning, and im not even sure of the word 'glossary's' association in this case.
The weakest points in this piece come when you elaborate to much on a concept. I enjoyed the first half more than the second for this reason.

I don’t want to die, I just have accepted that one day I will

The mind that has accepted that it’s time has an end will gain purpose

Its just that this second half was a lot more plain stated, and although i understand you do that for comprehensions sake, it can get preachy.
Thanks for the read
