A journey
There is darkness, uncertainty
all around
closed spaces
no ray of light,
to dispel the gloom
I run but alas!
no door to let me out;
My spirit scrambles
in fear
to hide,
in the world behind my eyes
fearful darkness here again.
I wander and I persist -
Trip on rocks unseen,
sink to unfathomable depths
Burn I Lucifer's flames;
And then like iron -red hot
am then we'll wrought
at hands of heaven's angels,
to the form
Of an altar -
On which shall preside
The Deity -
A Lamp
-of knowledge
Of Wisdom
Of Peace.
My spirit -the Altar
Shall rejoice;
Resple,
Joyful,
Enlightened
At Peace.
