Poem 21: A Gift

A Gift

I was not quite expecting
such a brilliant blaze of light
to fall upon the corners
of my deepest, darkest night.

But now I am so thankful,
for existence and its boon
which mortified the shadows
of my oh so cherished gloom.

Now I'm a restored creator,
my kingdom's now reclaimed.
The world's mankind is now my friend,
no beginning and no end.

I see where service beckons,
places to take a stand,
obliterate the shadows,
emancipate the land.

These words a dismal effort,
to articulate a joy
of heartfelt love and thankfulness
TO YOU MASTER, and your band.
