opulence

 
midnight glower, I shrank away
insidious insults the dawn of my nature
evolving in pain towards wisdom gates

tiptoeing on the ether
little ions of truth compel me onwards
my dignity secure within my sacred temple

I rip the veil off my face
look to the horizon
mighty women of hope
mouths singing in unison
he shall be honored

my will be undone
I shall overcome the darkness
sidestepping madness I rise
in the eternal found pure

I forsake not the way
in reverence keep to the path
feet shod with peace

but prepared for war
