"ENLIGHTENMENT"
Wary and equivocal I traveled alone
Through the desert of my heart I was destined to roam
Darkness consumed me, enslaved me and broke me
I longed for the light that at one time awoke me
Escape was uncertain, I began to despair
Drowning in sadness I was gasping for air
The mocking of joyless faces ensued
And their gnashing jaws furiously chewed
Suddenly a brilliant flash of light
Tore at the darkness and restored my sight
It banished the desert and calmed the sea
In one valiant effort it rescued me
Lightly its tendrils enveloped my heart
Caressing the shards that had broken apart
It soothed me and healed me like nothing could do
That light was an angel and that angel was you
